ROBERT VENTURI Y EL ANALISIS DE LA ARQUITECTURA DE ALVAR AALTO/Robert Venturi and the analysis of Alvar Aalto's architecture

In 2012, the book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture has been attained fifty years, published in 1966, although written mostly in 1962. This article takes advantage of this occasion to rescue it and to focus the gaze now on Alvar Aalto's work, one of the architects that more influence him. In Robert Venturi's words, Aalto is the richest source for him to learn by Aalto art and his technique. The analysis of Venturi represents an alternative to the "classical" vision about Aalto during 1950 and marks the path of the later studies.
