Travailler avec Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, John Rauch et Steve Izenour

Abstract

Born in 1945 in Philadelphia, Jeffrey D. Ryan was, during his architectural studies at Rice and Harvard universities, deeply influenced by the theory of Robert Venturi & Denise Scott Brown. He worked in their agency for nearly ten years, then returned to Houston where he founded his own firm. This contribution proposes an interview with Jeff Ryan who testifies (through two flagship buildings) ofto the Venturi’s and Scott Brown’s design theory, but also to the changes in American architectural practice brought about 1970s energy crisis.
