Robert Venturi, FAIA, and Denise Scott Brown, Hon. FAIA
Architect honour
The 2016 AIA Gold Medal recipient record names Robert Venturi, FAIA, and Denise Scott Brown, Hon. FAIA. Robert Venturi studied at Princeton and continued his education as a Rome Prize Fellow before teaching architectural theory. His 1966 book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture argued for richness and ambiguity in the built environment rather than a narrow pursuit of unity.
