The career and built works of this enigmatic and fascinating architect are carefully charted from his early work on housing design and high-rise offices in Berlin to his later and most famous work in Chicago, Detroit, Montreal and New York. Original illustrations from the architect's archives complement the excellent text. Spon's ARCHITECTURE COLLECTION presents the work of historic and contemporary masters of architecture in clear well-illustrated text, accessible to non-specialists. This appealing series of monographs, now available in English, is launched by books on two great historic figures of the century, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe and two award-winning contemporary architects, Sir Norman Foster and Alvaro Siza.

Log 13/14, a special double issue, examines the events and aftershocks of 1968 via the subsequent development of architectural and cultural movements over two generations. The 27 entries include: a reassessment of the collapse of the XIVth Triennale in Milan; renascent forms of Beaux-Arts planning in Paris; the semi-mythic origins of contemporary Dubai; NASA's attempt to design the perfect space suit; and the political potential of the building envelope today. Log also revisits seminal statements from Paul Virilio and Yona Friedman on the nature of the 1968 protests in Paris. Both a retrospective and a critique of past and present-day radical architectural and cultural paradigms, Log 13/14 includes essays and texts by: Jean-Louis Cohen; Peter Eisenman; Sylvia Lavin; Markus Miessen; Paola Nicolin; John David Rhodes; Lukasz Stanek; Robert Venturi; Anthony Vidler; and Alejandro Zaera-Polo among others.

Now available in its original edition along with critical commentary, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture is the founding text of postmodernism in architecture
First published in 1966, Robert Venturi’s Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, widely considered the foundational text of postmodernism, has become an essential document in architectural theory and criticism. This new two-volume boxed set presents a facsimile of the original edition paired with a compendium of new scholarship on and around Venturi’s seminal treatise. The ten selected essays, a number of which were presented at a three-day international conference co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Complexity and Contradiction in 2016, address diverse issues, such as the book’s relationship to Venturi’s own built oeuvre and its significance in the contemporary landscape. Additional short commentaries by contemporary practitioners attest to Complexity’s enduring influence on architectural practice. Together, these two volumes expand the horizons of―and introduce a new generation to―Venturi’s “gentle manifesto.”
