Denise Scott Brown is an American architect, planner, writer, educator, and principal of the firm Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates in Philadelphia. Scott Brown and her husband and partner, Robert Venturi, are regarded as among the most influential architects of the twentieth century, both through their architecture and planning, and theoretical writing and teaching. In 1972, with Venturi and Steven Izenour, Scott Brown wrote Learning From Las Vegas: the Forgotten Symbolis...m of Architectural Form. The book published studies of the Las Vegas Strip, undertaken with students in an architectural research studio course which Scott Brown taught with Venturi in 1970 at Yale's School of Architecture and Planning. When Robert Venturi was named as winner of the 1991 Pritzker Architecture Prize, Scott Brown did not attend the award ceremony in protest. Denise Scott Brown was an associate professor when she married Robert Venturi in 1967. She had taught at the universities of Pennsylvania and Berkeley, and initiated the first programme in the new school of architecture at the University of California. She had a substantial publication record, enthusiastic students, and the respect of her colleagues

To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state, said Le Corbusier. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, that which is, and that which will be. The better part of a century has passed since the Swiss-French Le Corbusier (1887-1965), born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, declared the above, and yet his legacy is such that his designs feel thoroughly contemporary. Arguably the most brilliant and co...ntroversial architect of the 20th century, he achieved colossal success in his field. Revered by architects the world over, Le Corbusier designed more than 300 buildings and wrote 24 books, he was also a keen writer, a theorist, sculptor, furniture designer, and painter. Why was Le Corbusier so groundbreaking? UNESCO has said his works are a testimonial to the invention of a new architectural language that made a break with the past. Most significant were his contributions to Modernism and the International Style, both a vast leap from architectural styles of the time. His designs rejected superfluous ornamentation (an early example of the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe phrase, ‘less is more’), and are characterized by their geometric forms, asymmetrical compositions, and horizontal planes with open floor plans. Other features of Modern architecture include the use of industrial materialsconcrete, steel, and glass for natural light, as well as a tendency towards grey, white, or neutral color palettes. Le Corbusier’s views were shaped by important movements of the early 1900s, including Art Nouveau and the Bauhaus. Whatever project he worked on, be it private villas, mass social housing complexes, churches, or public monuments, his designs were always original.
