Mies van der Rohe & Robert Venturi – Chalk and Cheese

Mies Van Der Rohe & Robert Venturi, both amazing, accomplished and recognised designers – but you could find a more different pair.

Farnsworth House The Vanna Venturi House

I’d like to show you Petar Pavlov’s visual interpretation of the two master designers via these portraits he produced for exhibition in Florence organized by the president of Accademia Italiana, Dr. Vincenzo Giubba.- I spoke with him earlier this week to find out the inspiration behind each compelling, completely opposite portraits.

The subject of the exhibition was “Less is more / Less is a bore”. These are very popular quotes in the design world. The first one is quoted by Mies van der Rohe, a radical minimalist, and the second belongs to Robert Venturi who has a more humanistic approach to the design process.

In order to capture this debate, I created two posters with their portraits. The Rohe’s portrait was a very minimal one, almost like a constructivist drawing. On the other hand, Robert Venturi’s portrait had more of a human touch. The posters were placed as if they are looking at each other and still trying to decide which one is right

As for me, both of these geniuses were right, and both of them were wrong at the same time. I think of designing as prostitution. We don’t choose the style that fits to us, we choose what fits to the project so we can satisfy our clients, because at the end of the day we get paid for those services.

  2. Eine Ablage für Schmuck sorgt in keinster Weise einzig für Ordnung, sondern nützt genauso der
    geeigneteren Vorführung von Geschmeiden. Ringe und auch anderer Schmuck mag damit präsentiert werden. Mithilfe des Organiser für Ketten mag man zahlreiche Halsketten aufhängen und hat einen guten Blick
    über die ganze Kollektion. Ebenso sorgt der Ketten Organiser beim Anziehen dafür, dass man flotter das passende
    Modell herauspicken kann.

  3. Any promises about instant success or riches are rip-offs.
    When commence talking you r about brand awareness you are wasting difficult
