Architectural historian Vincent Scullycalled it

"the biggest small building of the second half

of the twentieth century.[3]

The five room house stands only about 30 feet

(9 m) tall at the top of the chimney, but has a

monumental front facade, an effect achieved

by intentionally manipulating the architectural

elements that indicate a building's scale.[2]Anon-structural applique arch and "hole in the

wall" windows,

The Vanna Venturi House, one of the first

prominent works of the postmodern

architecturemovement, is located in the

neighborhood of Chestnut Hillin Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania. It was designed by

architect Robert Venturifor his mother VannaVenturi, and constructed between 1962 -1964.

the pitched roof rather than flat roof, the

emphasis on the central hearth and chimney, a

closed ground floor "set firmly on the ground"rather than the Modernist columns and glass

walls which open up the ground floor.[13]On

the front elevation the broken pediment or

gable and a purely ornamental applique arch

reflect a return toMannerist architectureand a

rejection of Modernism.

About historical references, the Swiss

architectural theorist Stanislaus vonMoos[20]regards the monumental facade as a

recall to Michelangelo's Porta Pia, the back

wall to Palladio'sNymphaeum at Villa

Barbaroand the broken pediments to the

facade of Moretti's Il Girasolehouse (building

also cited by Venturi's in Complexity andContradiction in architecture).[21]

The architecture is based on a "futuristic

farm" (the clock tower is the windmill, the

main building on the top-right corner is the

farmhouse, the cylindrical council chamber is

the silo, and the pentagonal building on the

bottom left is the barn)it connects with its local context and historical

architectural ideas, yet is decidedly

untraditional in design.

The building is famous for its postmodern

architecturaldesign topped with Flemish-

inspired neo-gothicspireswhich blend

architecturally with the city's historic

skyline.[5]It is constructed mainly of granite.

Sometimes called a "twin gothic structure", for

its pairs of spires, it is oriented North-South

and East-West (as named on a plaque along

the Windsorwaterfront park). One Detroit

Center won the Award of Excellence for its

design in 1996.

The "Dancing House" was inspired by Ginger

Rogers and Fred Astaire

the Dancing House has two central bodies. The

first is a tower of glass that is close to half

height and is supported by curved pillars, the

second runs parallel to the river, which is

characterized by the moldings that follow a

wavy motion and distributed through thewindows so the non-aligned .

Also the winding moldings on the facade make

it more confusing perspective, diminishing the

contrast with the buildings that surround it. The building, which stretches over an area of

5,400 m2, has been constructed of steel, glass

and precast concrete Clad revoked.

The dome is made of metal tubes and covered

with a mesh of stainless steel.

Construction is from 99 concrete panels each

of different shape and dimension, each

therefore requiring a unique wooden form.

The construction of the building in what is

described as a deconstructionist style
