This week’s lecture take us to a discussion on “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” by Robert Venturi. When we look at the very specific concept of Modernism where it’s either “right” or “wrong”, “Bourgeois” or “Non-Bourgeois”, “Black” or “White”, if you could not choose where you stand, there’s always “Post-Modernism”
From the book, we discussed and tries to tell the difference between being “complex” and “complicated”. They are not the same, in fact they are almost the opposite of each other. Complexity can also mean simple and pure while complicated is just, well..., complicated. Post-Modernism plays between the area of being white and black, and does not limiting themselves to any set of rules. I like the fact that post-modernist architects are free and didn’t force their designs but rather making it flexible and adaptable.
