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.

  7. very couple of web sites that transpire to be in depth below, from our point of view are undoubtedly effectively really worth checking out

  8. Tento clánok je naozaj dobre napísaný, chcete spolupracovat? Zaoberám sa aj velmi podobnými témami, ale ešte nie som tak dobrý. Môžete mi dat nejaké rady a možno ma hostite na svojom blogu. Co si myslíš? Rád by som sa, samozrejme, obracal!

  9. Dit artikel is echt goed geschreven, zou je willen samenwerken? Ik behandel ook zeer vergelijkbare onderwerpen, maar ik ben nog niet zo goed. Je kunt me wat advies geven en me misschien op je blog plaatsen. Wat denk je? Ik zou natuurlijk graag beantwoorden!

  10. Seit langer Zeit vereinfacht das Tablett den Alltag. Das Serviertablett unterstützt bei
    der Ausführung der Arbeit wie auch findet noch heute im
    Privatleben ebenso wie im Gewerbe Verwendung. Im Übrigen gibt es
    heute hinsichtlich der universellen Benutzung zusätzliche Erscheinungsformen von Tabletts, welche der Mehrheit durchweg fremd
    sind. Dabei eignet sich ein Tablett wunderbar als Accessoir oder als Präsent.

    Das Tablett mit Spiegel weist vor allem als Verzierung eine grazile Eigenart auf.
    Die strahlende Präsenz dieses Tablett mit Spiegel setzt das sich auf ihm
    stehende Geschirr im Besonderen in Szene. Vornehmlich Glaswaren wie Weingläser kommen auf diesem Spiegeltablett richtig zur Geltung.
    Darum steht das Tablett mit Spiegel häufig auf dem
    Geschenkzettel für die Dekoration von Lebensart liebenden Menschen. Das Tablett mit Spiegel
    selber ist in frühzeitlicher Fasson mit Gravuren und
    erstklassigem Finish und in einfacher Form zugänglich.

    Wer ein Tablett ebenso wie ein Laptop besitzt, möchte
    sich mit diesem auch auf die Couch begeben ebenso wie sich dem entspannten Surferlebnis zuwenden.
    Ein Beintablett ermöglicht dies. Oftmals besteht das Beintablett
    aus einem Polster und ist gefügig, liegt passend auf
    den Gebeinen sowie ermöglicht ungefährdeten Schutz für edle Technologie.
    Daher steht dieses Tablett häufig auf der Wunschliste.
    Hersteller fertigen dieses Knietablett gleichfalls als Dekoration in verschiedenen Farben.

    Mit dem Kauf eines Aluminiumtablett erwählen Tablettliebhaber ein hochklassiges Tablett, das ebenfalls größere Gewichte aushält.
    Obendrein bieten Händler das Tablett aus Metall als Deko in verschiedenartigen Varianteen. Ein mattes Metalltablett ist als Dekoration ebenso
    mit Freude gesehen wie die gewöhnliche und kantige Variante.

  11. Þessi grein er mjög vel skrifuð, viltu vinna saman? Ég á líka við svipaðar greinar en ég er ekki svo góður ennþá. Þú gætir gefið mér ráð og kannski hýsir mig á blogginu þínu. Hvað finnst þér? Ég myndi vera fús til að koma til baka, auðvitað!

    Yes, despite all that listing down, you will still must sit
    and compose an entire response, exactly the same way you’ll
    write any essay. This will present you with sufficient time and practice to
    brainstorm and be sure what you are talking about is relevant and
    what you need to make in. Reading and writing wherever possible
    certainly is the best strategy to develop a
    writing style.

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters!
