I like elements which are hybrid
rather than ‘pure’, compromising
rather than ‘clean’, distorted
rather than ‘straightforward’,
ambiguous rather than
‘articulated’, perverse as well as
impersonal, boring as well as
‘interesting’, conventional rather
than ‘designed’, accommodating
rather than excluding, redundant
rather than simple, vestigial as
well as innovating, inconsistent
and equivocal rather than direct
and clear. I am for messy vitality
over obvious unity. I include the
non sequitor and proclaim the
duality.

DUCK AND
DECORATED SHED
FIGURE 3: DUCK AND DEECORATED SHED
Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, Steven Iznour. Learning by las
Vegas , The MIT press, 1972..
ARCHITECTURE IS DECORATION OF
SHELTER.” – Robert Venturi
Concept of Duck and Decorated Sheds were
codified in 1972 book ‘Learning from Las
Vegas’ by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown
and Steven Iznour.
Duck is referred to a building whose system of
space, structure and program are submerged
and distorted by an overall symbolic form.
Decorated Sheds are more like generic
structures which cannot exist without signs
and other applied ornamentation.

• In 1972, Venturi and his wife
began a study of Las Vegas
architecture-their effort was
to categorize and classify
architecture.
• Learning from Las Vegas was a
criticism of orthodox
modernism and its elite style.
• The project studied Las Vegas
architecture and the role its
signs played in creating the
urban landscape.
• It became a call to re-
introduce symbolism into
architectural design. FIGURE 3: Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour,

• The five room house stands only about 30 feet (9 m) tall at the top
the chimney, but has a monumental front façade.
• A non-structural applique arch and "hole in the wall" windows,
other elements, were challenge to modernist orthodoxy.
• The house is designed around a chimney that is centralised and goes
all the way to the top of the house.
• Externally, they house is built symmetrical.
• Venturi has distorted this idea of symmetry.
• There is also a basement underneath the house that is often not
covered by people.

ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
• The building's siting in center of site, framed by landscaped park
gardens, softens its impact in this neighborhood, while allowing the
possibility of future expansion of smaller increments nearer the
perimeter of the site.
• A large park facing the canal du midi enhances the neighborhood
provides a setting for the building along the canal where one can
the great curved section of the building as a reflection of the curve
the Garonne in this area, as it flows to the sea.
• Covered bridges in glass span the pedestrian street connecting the
two wings of the building at two locations. They offer dramatic
from within the complex and, by their form and silhouette, serve as
symbolic gateways to the civic crescent.

Freedom Plaza was commonly
known as western plaza.
It is a popular place for political
protests, civic events, and (despite
its official prohibition)
skateboarding.
Freedom Plaza was a part of The
Pennsylvania Avenue
Development Corporation’s
(PADC) plan to transform
Pennsylvania Avenue into a
ceremonial route connecting the
US Capitol to the White House.
Historic quotations are incised on the plaza floor and terrace walls.
Quotes by famous people about Washington, DC, are carved into the
paving stones.

  • 3. I like elements which are hybrid rather than ‘pure’, compromising rather than ‘clean’, distorted rather than ‘straightforward’, ambiguous rather than ‘articulated’, perverse as well as impersonal, boring as well as ‘interesting’, conventional rather than ‘designed’, accommodating rather than excluding, redundant rather than simple, vestigial as well as innovating, inconsistent and equivocal rather than direct and clear. I am for messy vitality over obvious unity. I include the non sequitor and proclaim the duality. his vision: FIGURE 2:HE WROTE THE BOOK “COMPLEXITY AND CONTRADICTION IN ARCHITECTURE” WHICH CHANGED PEOPLE’S VIEW ABOUT ARCHITECTURE SOURCE: http://img5.douban.com/mpic/s4269767.jpg
  • 4. DUCK AND DECORATED SHED FIGURE 3: DUCK AND DEECORATED SHED Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, Steven Iznour. Learning by las Vegas , The MIT press, 1972.. ARCHITECTURE IS DECORATION OF SHELTER.” – Robert Venturi Concept of Duck and Decorated Sheds were codified in 1972 book ‘Learning from Las Vegas’ by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Iznour. Duck is referred to a building whose system of space, structure and program are submerged and distorted by an overall symbolic form. Decorated Sheds are more like generic structures which cannot exist without signs and other applied ornamentation.
