The "Philadelphia School" consisted of a group of architects (including Louis I Kahn, Robert Venturi, Denise Scott-Brown and Romaldo Giurgola) who were developing a resentment to the Modern Movement in the 1960's.

One of the few that came out, an illustration of Robert Venturi's "Learning from Las Vegas":
