9 K. MICHAEL HAYS One should not ask whether architecture is autonomous, or whether it can willfully be made so, but rather how it can be that the question arises in the first place, what kind of situation allows for architecture to worry about itself to this degree.

14 ROBERT VENTURI I like complexity and contradiction in architecture - not the incoherence or arbitrariness of incompetent architecture and not the precious intricacies of picturesqueness. I speak of a wider and solider matter: a kind of complexity and contradiction based on the need to consider the richness of experience within the limitations of the medium.

I speak of a wider and solider matter: a kind of complexity and contradiction based on the need to consider the richness of experience within the limitations of the medium. ROBERT VENTURI I am not intimidated by the puritanical, moral language of modern architecture. I like forms that are impure rather than pure, compromising rather than clean, distorted rather than straightforward, ambiguous rather than articulated, allusive rather than simple, perverse rather than impersonal, accommodating rather than excluding.

A valid architecture evokes many levels of meaning; its space and its elements become readable and workable in several ways at once.

20 Mies makes wonderful buildings only because he ignores many aspects of a building. If he solved more problems, his buildings would be far less potent. The doctrine less is more bemoans complexity and justifies exclusion for expressive purposes...he [the architect] can exclude important problems only at the risk of separating his architecture from the experience of life and the needs of society.

75 COLIN ROWE...there is now introduced a conception of transparency quite distinct from any physical quality of substance and almost equally remote from the idea of the transparent as the perfectly clear. In fact, by this definition, the transparent ceases to be that which is perfectly clear and becomes, instead, that which is clearly ambiguous.
76 COLIN ROWE Therefore, at the beginning of any inquiry into transparency, a basic distinction must be established. Transparency may be an inherent quality of substance - as in a wire mesh or glass curtain wall - or it may be an inherent quality of organization...and one might, for this reason distinguish between a real and a phenomenal or seeming transparency.

96 PETER EISENMAN
97 PETER EISENMAN The critical establishment within architecture has told us that we have entered the era of post-modernism. The tone with which this news is delivered is invariably one of relief, similar to that which accompanies the advice that one is no longer an adolescent. Two indices of this supposed change are the quite different manifestations of the Architettura Razionale exhibition at the Milan Triennale of 1973, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1975.
98 PETER EISENMAN What is interesting is not the mutually exclusive character of these two diagnoses and hence their solutions, but rather the fact that both of these views enclose architecture within the same definition: one by which the terms continue to be function (or program) and form (and type). In so doing, an attitude toward architecture is maintained that differes in no significant way from the 500-year-old tradition of humanism.
99 PETER EISENMAN It is true that sometime in the nineteenth century there was indeed a critical shift within western consciousness: one which can be characterized as a shift from humanism to modernism. But, for the most part, architecture, in its dogged adherence to the principles of function, did not participate in or understand the fundamental aspects of that change. It is the potential difference in the nature of modernist and humanist theory that seems to have gone unnoticed by those people who today speak of eclecticism, postmodernism, neo-modernism, or neo-functionalism.

It is the potential difference in the nature of modernist and humanist theory that seems to have gone unnoticed by those people who today speak of eclecticism, postmodernism, neo-modernism, or neo-functionalism.
101 PETER EISENMAN In brief, the modernist sensibility has to do with a changed mental attitude toward the artifacts of the physical world. This change has not only been manifested aesthetically, but also socially, philosophically, and technologically - in sum, it has been manifested in a new cultural attitude. This shift away from the dominant attitudes of humanism, that were pervasive in Western societies for some four hundred years, took place at various times in the nineteenth century in such disparate disciplines as mathematics, music, painting, literature, film, and photography.
102 PETER EISENMAN This new theoretical base changes the humanist balance of form/function to a dialectical relationship within the evolution of form itself.

115 COLIN ROWE For we are here in the presence of what, in terms of the orthodox theory of modern architecture, is heresy. We are in the presence of anachronism, nostalgia, and probably, frivolity. If modern architecture looked like this c.1930 then it should not look like this today; and, if the real political issue of the present is not the provision of the rich with cake but of the starving with bread, then not only formally but also programmatically these building are irrelevant.

118 ROBERT A.M. STERN
119 ROBERT A.M. STERN Post-Modernism and Post-Functionalism can both be seen as attempts to get out of the trap of orthodox Modernism now devoid of philosophic meaning and formal energy, and both are similar in their emphasis on the development of a strong formal basis for design. Beyond this, however, they are widely divergent, in that Post-Functionalism seeks to develop formal compositional themes as independent entities freed from cultural connotations, whereas Post-Modernism embodies a search for strategies that will make architecture more responsive to and visually cognizant of its own history, the physical context in which a given work of architecture is set...
120 ROBERT A.M. STERN Implicit in this emergent Post-Modernist position is a recognition that the more than fifty-year history of the Modernist movement has been accompanied by no notable increase in affection on the part of the public for the design vocabulary that has been evolved.
121 ROBERT A.M. STERN A large part of the work of the Grays tends to establish connections with the formal, spatial, and decorative invention of the nineteenth century. For the Grays, at least, Venturi and Moore have laid the foundation for the philosophical structure of Post-Modernism.
122 ROBERT A.M. STERN The Beaux-Arts exhibition reminded us of the poverty of orthodox Modern architecture: trapped in the narcissism of its obsession with the process of its own making, sealed off from everyday experience and from high culture alike by its abstraction and the narrowing of its frame of reference within the Modern period...drained of energy as a result of a confusion between the values assigned to minimalism by a Mies van der Rohe...
123 ROBERT A.M. STERN The Work of the Grays presents certain strategies and attitudes that distinguish it from the Whites. These strategies include:
124 The use of ornament.
125 The manipulation of forms to introduce an explicit historical reference.
126 The conscious and eclectic utilization of the formal strategies of orthodox modernism, together with the strategies the pre-modern period.
127 The preference for incomplete or compromised geometries, voluntary distortion, and the recognition of growth of buildings over time.
128 The use of rich colors and various materials that effect a materialization of architecture s imagery and perceptible qualities.
129 The configuration of spaces in terms of light and view as well as use.
130 The configuration of spaces in terms of light and view as well as use.
131 The adjustment of specific images charged with carrying the ideas of the building.
132 Gray buildings have facades which tell stories.
