Robert Venturi was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1925
He received his Bachelor of Arts and  Masters of Fine Arts at Princeton University
He won a scholarship to the American Academy in Rome and started his own practice in the late 1950′s.He has been in a partnership with John Rauch since 1964 and with Denise Scott Brown, whom he is also married too, since 1967.
He worked under Louis Kahn and also Eero Saarinen in his early career.He was also greatly influenced by Michelangelo, Palladio, Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto.

INSPIRATION
History and all of its formal models inspired his creative ideas.
His works respond to context, thus each building tends to look very different and each building learns from its surroundings.
He has been categorized as a part of the Post Modern movement though he tends to discard a few of its beliefs.
Later works favoured the 19th century shingle style of domestic architecture.HIS DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS
simple forms that are sculptured symbolically.
often uses irony and comedy in the overall scheme of the design.
manipulation of the facade; these facades are often monumental and decorative.
works with signs and symbols both graphic design attributes that were often incorporated into his designs.
He has always confronted both context and assimilation in a grand setting. That is his buildings are integrated into the site in a harmonious way.
He has said “I like complexity and contradiction in architecture… based on the richness and ambiguity of modern experience, including that experience which is inherent in art.”
IDEALS
Robert Venturi took a familiar Mies van der Rohe saying “less is more” and coined his own version “less is a bore” (a richness of both form and meaning) The concerns of mass culture to the realm of art.
ELEMENTS….
splitting of the traditional gabled house front by separating the parts and recessing the center section.
Venturi also uses large square windows in addition to oversized semi-circular windows in his designs.
These round windows are a reoccurring theme in his work.
His buildings are difficult to assess without thinking of his opinions.
The buildings of 1970’s and 80’s adopted of what Venturi has recommended in creating a language with playful classical quotation.
Example- Philip Johnson and John Burgee- AT & T building, NY.

Dating is any social activity performed as a pair or even a group with the aim of each assessing the other’s suitability as their partner in a intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of agreeing on a time and “date” when a pair can meet and engage in some social activity.
In many cultural traditions, dates are arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, an acquaintance, or a dedicated matchmaker. Recently matchmaking services have become popular. Although dating rules in Western popular culture have become more relaxed during the 20th century, there is considerable variation between individuals’ values. For example, when the activity costs money, it has traditionally been the man’s role to pay; in recent times the practice of “going Dutch” (splitting the expenses) has emerged. Traditional dating activities include sharing entertainment or a meal. In general, a person may date many different partners during the same time period in order to have the best chance of finding their most suitable available mate.
A Net dating service, also known as online dating or Internet dating, is an example of a dating system and allows individuals, couples and groups to meet online and possibly develop a romantic or sexual relationship. Net dating services provide un-moderated matchmaking through the use of personal computers, the Internet, or even cell phones.
Such services generally allow people to provide personal information, then search for other individuals using criteria such as age range, gender and location. Most sites allow members to upload photos of them and browse the photos of others. Sites may offer additional services, such as web casts, online chat, and message boards. Sites sometimes allow people to register for free but may offer services which require a monthly fee.
Many sites are broad-based, with members from a variety of backgrounds looking for different types of relationships. Other sites are more specific, based on the type of members, interests, location, or relationship desired.

Most of the people are afraid of bonding. They are not sure of what to do and how to get bonded. JW surety bonds helps to get the word on their free Q & A forums and surety bond blog on getting bonded. Answers are given by agents and underwriters from various companies throughout the country. A surety bond is a three-party agreement between the principal, obligee, and surety. The obligee requires the principal to obtain the bond, and the surety is the carrier backing the guarantee.
The principal may be the party paying for the bond, but the principal does not receive any funds in the event of a claim. The bond covers the clients of the principal; for instance an electrical contractor could have a claim on his/her bond, in which case the obligee (the client he/she is doing the work for) would recoup funds to pay another contractor to finish the job. The surety would look to the principal for payment of the claim and the associated attorney fees.
Surety bonds also differ from your typical insurance in that when an underwriter looks at an account they will write it assuming there is no claim/loss in the future. This is another reason why everyone is not qualified; they do not want to write risks which may have a claim. Insurance will write risks assuming there is a loss upcoming in the future and will adjust the premium accordingly.

The surety bond types are:
Commercial Bonds – guarantee the principal’s performance of an obligation as listed on the bond. (e.g. Auto Dealer Bond, Mortgage Broker Bond, Wage & Welfare Bond, etc.)
Contract Bonds – guarantee the contractor (principal) will perform the work and pay their suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers. (e.g. Bid Bond, Performance Bond, Subdivision Bond, etc.)
Court Bonds – also known as fiduciary bonds; guarantee the performance of fiduciary services in compliance with a court order. (e.g. Guardianship Bond, Executor Bond, etc.)
Fidelity Bonds – are not surety bonds, but a type of insurance.

The principal (you) pays a percentage of the bond amount called a bond premium. In return, the surety extends “surety credit” to make the required guarantee (the bond). A claim can arise when the principal does not abide by the terms of the bond. In the event of a claim, the surety will investigate to ensure it is valid. If the claim is valid, the surety will look to the principal for payment of the claim and any associated legal fees. Bond premiums vary greatly depending on the applicant, the bond type, surety, and the obligee. Just like other forms of credit, everyone does not receive the same rate. Standard market rates are typically anywhere from 1-3%, while higher risk markets can range anywhere from 5-20% of the bond amount.
