The AA extends its deepest condolences to Alumna Denise Scott Brown (AA Dipl 1956) on the passing of her partner and husband Robert Venturi.

Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi have together been credited with pioneering the Postmodernist movement in architecture. Venturi wrote many ground-breaking texts including Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture (1966) and, with Scott brown, Learning from Las Vegas.
