In the recent Barbara Flanagan article in METROPOLIS on Venturi and Scott
Brown it states:
\\ And when Venturi envisions an electronic "facade of glittering
information," the inevitable political question (what does it say and who
decides?) can be a vexing one. "What the message is I don't know, and I'm
not too ashamed of not knowing," Venturi says. "Content is not the
architect's job." //
I think Venturi here admits his most present flaw, and even goes on to make
a big mistake about the future. As the architect of the first online virtual
museum of architecture, I see content as very much the job of the architect.
Can it be said that precisely attacking flaws engenders paradigm shifts?
[kind-of like going into a black hole and then being in the other side.]
