First published in 1966, and since translated into 16 languages, this remarkable book has become an essential document in architectural literature. As Venturi's ""gentle manifesto for a nonstraightforward architecture,"" Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture expresses in the most compelling and original terms the postmodern rebellion against the purism of modernism. Three hundred and fifty architectural photographs serve as historical comparisons and illuminate the author's ideas on creating and experiencing architecture. Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture was the winner of the Classic Book Award at the AIA's Seventh Annual International Architecture Book Awards.

《向拉斯维加斯学习》(原修订版)与文丘里所著的《建筑复杂性与矛盾性》被认为是现代主义建筑思潮的宣言，文丘里反对密斯·凡德罗的名言“少就是多”，认为“少就是光秃秃”。他认为群众不懂现代主义建筑语言，群众喜欢的建筑往往形式平凡、活泼、装饰性强，又具有隐喻性。他认为赌城拉斯维加斯的面貌，包括狭窄的街道、霓虹灯、广告版、快餐馆等商标式的造型，正好反映了群众的喜好，因此他在《向拉斯维加斯学习》(原修订版)中呼吁建筑师要同群众对话，接受群众的兴趣和价值观，向拉斯维加斯学习。
