define word-concept: the Venturi-effect
======================================================================
the Venturi-effect: those parts of [Robert] Venturi's work that
have gone silent, but still pose basic and fundamental issues for
architectural theory/practice to work through.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\|
example sentences:
Example 1: `the Venturi-effect begs one to see
the Wherehouse [music-video store] by its
signage shouting: "I AM A MONUMENT TO
ELECTROMAGNETIC AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA!"' [Part
III, de|con-structing the Wherehouse,
10-18-98]
Example 2: "literal, in comparison, might be
the Venturi-effect house of all these
'tower-oid'-like applied symbols, that
"lantern-thing" on suburban lots, the
chain-fence thing on some, the defunct-shutters,
the neo-this&that ornamentation removed from
its logic that it evolved within... that is, a bunch
of visual icons sending out signals saying "i mean
something" but which the user is saying in a
recursive loop in the head- "what, though, i have
forgotten, or i never knew- do they really mean
any-thing at all?" [Design-L post #12383]
Example 3: "i think postmodernism has
represented the plethora of "choice",
architectural and other, from decon design to
vernacularism to neotraditional and corporate
decorated shed design, which, in retrospect [and
with respect to the Venturi-effect] i equate even
with the ubiquitous anonymous skyscraper (box)
with affixed sign or symbol, 50 stories or 800
feet above groun
