Decorated Shed Vs Duck

The ironic thing about the idea for the "duck and the decorated shed," is the fact that the group of robert venturi, denise scott brown, and steven izenour admit to an ulterior motive of its invention.they start by telling us a simple known fact that architects as a rule, tend to philosophize and write in order to justify their own work.. Ducks have innate ornamentation and are straightforward and honest in their intentions. what you see is what you get, and what you get is what you would expect. in contrast, a decorated shed is a generic structure with a purpose identifiable only by its signage. in fact, decorated sheds could not exist without signs and other applied ornamentation.. As vinegar writes, �together the duck and the decorated shed are entwined as a figure of attempting to overcome [others�] skepticism.� john hill, a new york city�based architect and writer, blogs at a daily dose of architecture (archidose.blogspot.com)..
