This feature-length documentary explores the complex and contradictory world of the architects, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. Husband and wife partners, Venturi and Scott Brown are widely considered among the most influential designers of the 20th century. Alternately vilified and idolized many times over in the course of their careers, theirs is a story that is part biography, part art history and part sociological survey of the past half century.

James Venturi began producing and directing Learning from Bob and Denise in 2004. Starting with little experience in documentary film, Venturi assembled a team of advisors and documentary professionals to produce this film. Over the past four and a half years, he and his team raised $960,000, produced over 400 hours of high-quality original footage, sourced hundreds of hours of archival footage and thousands of photographs and press clippings, produced two trailers, and are now working hard to complete the feature-length version of the film by April 2009. Prior to producing this film, Venturi worked in technology consulting. The firm he started in 1990 at the age of 20 grew to include fifty people, and the spin-off company was sold to Palm, Inc., in 2001.
