Indeed, the only print references in English I have found for him are in the postmodernist Robert Venturi's groundbreaking if in retrospect somewhat silly book Learning from Las Vegas, which suggested there was more to life than modernist streamlining; and Walter C.

Venturi's ideas as much as his architecture brought him the prize, though he's distanced himself from the postmodern movement he helped spawn.

The London National Gallery project was born out of controversy, and Venturi's wing already has modernist British critics frothing.
