This major retrospective is the first to focus exclusively on the influential architect, photographer, and activist Denise Scott Brown. Organized into three thematic sections—city, street, and house—the exhibition displays over a hundred works, including drawings, photographs, scale models, and furnishings from her private collection.
Denise Scott Brown is recognized as one of the most significant architects of the late twentieth century, having fundamentally transformed how the profession engages with urban space and popular culture. Known for her collaborations with Robert Venturi, including the landmark book 'Learning from Las Vegas,' this exhibition highlights her individual career and unique contributions to the architectural field. It examines her work through the three core themes of city, street, and house, showcasing her methodology and design evolution through diverse media. The exhibition features over one hundred items drawn from the Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates archive and the architect's private collection, complemented by a new documentary directed by Manuel Asín and Pablo García Canga. By exploring projects like the Franklin Court complex and her innovative studies on the suburban landscape, the retrospective honors Scott Brown’s analytical approach and her vital role in contemporary visual culture, aiming to redress the historical under-recognition of her individual achievements.
