Virtual Museum 109
2003.09.07

rita, here is one arrayed. don't get me wrong i was more interested in some other stuff at the time. they are in the virtual museum.my earlier opinion is already changing. yes when i visited yale center for the british arts in 1980 it shooked me up a little. than i went to kahn's duplexes, not too far from venturi's mom's house and next day i visited venturi's office in the polish neigborhood, i told him about my experience, he said 'you are on the right track kiddo'..
for some reason yale center image came to my mind with the association of removement as in slicing. unlike corbu where his 'bubble' is usually encased..

Virtual Museum 231

a reenacted Elgin Marble arrayed in a virtual museum

The Esherick House by Kahn is right down the street from the Vanna Venturi House, but it isn't a duplex (although it does kind of looks like a duplex).

The office of Venturi Scott Brown & Associates is in Manayunk, Philadelphia, an ethnically diverse neighborhood, now much gentrified. Manayunk is a Native American name/word. The last time I was at the VSBA office, I was waiting for a friend in the reception area. Someone else I knew came along and we chatted a bit. For some reason I laughed loudly (which is my nature) and then Venturi flew out of his office and looked at us in the reception area very sternly. During the subsequent lunch with my friend I asked why Venturi did that.

"You're not allowed to laugh in the office."

"Gosh, I wouldn't last there two minutes, would I?"

Then we both laughed loudly, of course.
