Robert venturi's works and works rival the mainstream functionalism of American architectural design in the 20th century, and become the witty and clear spokesman of unorthodox elements in the field of architecture. His works Complexity and Contradiction of Architecture (1966) and Learning from Las Vegas (1972) are regarded as declarations of postmodern architectural thoughts. He opposed Mies Van Derro's famous saying that "less is more" and thought that "less is nudity". He believes that modernist architectural language is not understood by the public, and the buildings that the public likes are often ordinary, lively, decorative and metaphorical. He believes that the appearance of Las Vegas, including narrow streets, neon lights, billboards, fast food restaurants and other trademark shapes, only reflects the public's preferences. If architects want to communicate with the public, they must learn from Las Vegas. As a result, the market culture, which was once considered as low-grade interest and the pursuit of excitement, was able to stand on the academic stage. When designing, Venturi likes to combine simple and beautifully carved formats, and often includes satire and comedy in the comprehensive design plan, which is often oriented to international style and popular art. His works are also regarded as the model of design plane. These models are usually commemorative and decorative. He decorated with marks and symbols, used simple geometric figures and incorporated them into his design. He said: "Architecture should involve the relationship between society and architectural history."

Venturi always combines connection and assimilation under a grand background, which makes his architecture harmonious and complementary with the local environment. They will not ignore their surroundings because of their purpose of existence. He said, "I like the complexity and opposition in architecture, which is based on the fuzziness and richness of modern views and is also included in the connection with art."

Venturi's ideas are often imitated by others. For example, the front wall of a gable house is usually separated by a dividing part and a recessed central part. In his design, he often uses large-area windows to expand the traditional semi-circular windows, and such circular windows often appear in the buildings he designs.

Robert venturi and his companions, Rauch and Scott Brown, are both elites in the field of architecture. 199 1 won the Pritzker Architecture Award. His designs are often abstract and have traces of history, but they cover a wide range, including libraries, residential areas, commercial buildings and other related projects.

Venturi declared himself a "modern" architect, and criticized postmodernism for "only emphasizing the recycling of history and reviving the past".

Robert venturi's representative works include Mother's House in Philadelphia, Franklin's Former Residence in Philadelphia, National Gallery of London, Allen Art Museum of Oberlin University in Ohio, and the reconstruction of Mabalo Branheim Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
