Ducks and Sheds

Huh, could've sworn I posted this, but well worth a re-post: By way of Eccentric Flower, The Architectural Mirror: Ducks and Sheds:

The terms “duck” and “decorated shed” were codified in the 1972 book Learning from Las Vegas by Robert Venturi, his wife Denise Scott Brown, and their friend Steven Izenour. The book argues that there are two distinctly different types of buildings and that all buildings can be classified as one or the other.
