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.
