Robert Venturi
Robert Venturi, founding principal of VSBA, derives his reputation from both his
architecture and theoretical and critical writings. His most recent book, written with Denise
Scott Brown and published by Harvard University Press, refers to Mr. Venturi and Ms. Scott
Brown’s contributions as “{having} influenced architects worldwide for nearly half a century.”
Mr. Venturi’s recent and current work includes a provincial capitol building of the Haute-
Garonne in Toulouse, France; the Mielparque Nikko Kirifuri resort hotel near Nikko, Japan;
the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London; additions to the Museum of
Contemporary Art, San Diego; the Seattle Art Museum; conceptual design of two high-rise
offices in Shanghai; major expansions to Lehigh Valley Hospital; an extension to the
Woodmere Art Museum; and a chapel for the Episcopal Academy near Philadelphia.
VSBA has engaged in over 70 projects for over 30 institutions of higher learning, many
involving repeat work, including labs for the University of Kentucky, Princeton, Penn,
Michigan, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and Yale; libraries at Dartmouth, Penn, Bard, and
Harvard’s Dumbarton Oaks; and campus centers for Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Delaware,
Harvard, and Swarthmore. VSBA’s architecture and planning are known for particular
responsiveness to the client’s program, schedule, and budget and to the building’s context,
accommodating a distinctive aesthetic for each project.
