Robert Venturi, Prince Charles & that false Corinthian column
On night at the VSB office, when I saw the column on the model (that was soon being shipped to London, or a detail façade study model), I remember thinking there's something not right about it, and I said so to the employee (perhaps even an associate at that time) that I was with. I was then told that Venturi himself had a fair amount of difficulty in resolving that particular part of the design. It was all a matter of how to punctuate the cascade of Corinthian order from original building to new wing. The final decision, if I recall correctly, was between the half column and a free standing column on pedestal. I'm still inclined to think that no column might have been the best choice, as if to say that in this case punctuation didn't matter.
