A Collection of silk scarves designed by Michael Graves, Richard Gluckman, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. Each scarf has a hand-rolled edge and is made of 100% silk measuring 60″ x 13 1/2″ in size. The Architects were able to draw from their structural renderings, blueprints, or drawings to create an architectural design. The result, a very stylish and supple piece of architecture.

“Paesaggio” (which means landscape in Italian) is a silk version of a Graves mural called “Industrial Landscape,” created as part of his series of paintings and drawings exploring the theme of the Archaic Landscape. These evocative compositions include assemblages of simple geometric building forms placed within fictional landscapes that are reminiscent of the designer’s beloved Tuscany.
“We like mixing media and wearing documents.”
Orchestra hall is based on their design for the East elevation of the Philadelphia Orchestra Hall, 1987-96
“The design of the scarf incorporates some of the ideas we have been working on in our work; transformation, transparency , and symbol. The light bar could be seen as an architectural form or an absence of form.”
Richard Gluckman
Richard’s design process (architecture and otherwise) comes from—and is influenced by
—his collaborations with minimalist artists. As an architect of museums and galleries, he designs spaces that are least obtrusive to the artwork, revealing the strengths of the building and concealing its weaker points.
