Traveling with Denise” South Africa, New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Yugoslavia, California, are places that Denise Scott Brown met and photographed. And it is a compilation of these photographs that are part of the fifth sample of the cycle The Album of the Architect that with the title “Denise Scott Brown. Traveling with Denise” is produced by the Girona Demarcation of the COAC. Denise Scott Brown is an architect, urban planner, writer, teacher, and associate of the Venturi‐Scott Brown & Associates Firm in Philadelphia. This architecture studio is considered one of the most influential of the 20th century. The built work, the academic activity and the books published among which "Learning from Las Vegas" (1972) written jointly with Steven Izenous, are a reference of contemporary architectural culture. Among the many awards she has received, the Design Mind Award (2007), the National Medal of Arts, the United States Presidential Award (1992), or the Athena Award of the Congress for the New Urbanism (2007). In 1991, the Pritzker Prize jury gave the award to her husband and partner Robert Venturi, while excluding her. Despite the protests of very important sectors of the profession and the statements of Robert Venturi himself stating that Denise was the author of more than 50% of the study's work, the jury did not rectify. Curators: Jeremy Tenenbaum / Maria Pia Fontana / Josep Maria Torra.
