Robert Venturi: Architecture's Improper Hero Part 1

Robert Venturi is the father of postmodern architecture and, along with his partner Denise Scott Brown, has changed how the world thinks about buildings. I got a chance to meet this 86 year old legend recently and found him to be brilliant, funny, and truly an inspiration. In this 22 minute short film (part 1 is about 14 minutes and part 2 is about 7 minutes), I hope to present to you one of the most important creative artists and visionaries Philadelphia has ever produced.
