Robert Venturi and Denise Venturi and Scott Brown both critical of the modernist doctrine that was being displayed in architecture at the time. The two wanted more electric architecture that integrated historic references into their work, a \u201cgentle manifesto\u201d which formed the basis for postmodernism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who considered becoming an architect when they were younger, these two alongside Frank Gehry were huge inspirations for me.  They held the ability to incorporate their art and talent into their works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a young teen surrounded by grey block buildings with the prettiest buildings in town being skyscrapers with super reflective windows, Venturi and Scott Brown\u2019s architecture made me realize that good architecture isn\u2019t just a tall building with shiny windows, it\u2019s so much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
