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.

    Hello there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout
    out and say I truly enjoy reading your articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same
    topics? Many thanks!

  26. Ernesto says:

    What’s up, just wanted to mention, I liked this blog
    post. It was practical. Keep on posting!

  27. I think what you said made a ton of sense. However, what about this?
    suppose you were to write a killer post title? I am not saying your
    content is not good., however what if you added
    a headline that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean design tavern » Less
    is MORE vs. Less is BORE is kinda boring. You could look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create
    news headlines to grab people interested. You might try adding
    a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about
    what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.

  28. Hi, everything is going sound here and ofcourse every one is sharing data, that’s actually
    fine, keep up writing.

    Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.

    Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks

  34. I think the admin of this site is really working
    hard for his web site, because here every material is quality based
    stuff.

  35. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell
    someone!

  36. This info is priceless. When can I find out more?
