The document discusses postmodern architect Robert Venturi and his criticism of Mies van der Rohe's modernist motto "Less is more". It describes Venturi's mother's house in Philadelphia from 1962, which featured ornamental details, and his Guild House from 1966 that included an antenna, challenging the simplicity of modernism. The document examines Venturi's rejection of the Miesian principle "Less is more" with his counter-phrase "Less is a bore" and how his buildings incorporated ornamentation and symbolic elements.
