Seller's Description:
New. Learning from Las Vegas, originally published by the MIT Press in 1972, was one of the most influential and controversial architectural books of its era. Thirty-five years later, it remains a perennial bestseller and a definitivetheoretical text. Its authors--architects Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, andSteven Izenour--famously used the Las Vegas Strip to argue the virtues of the'ordinary and ugly' above the 'heroic and original' qualities ofarchitectural modernism. Learning from Las Vegas not only moved architecture to thecenter of cultural debates, it changed our ideas about what architecture was andcould be. In this provocative rereading of an iconic text, Aron Vinegar shows thatLearning from Las Vegas is not only of historical interest but of absolute relevanceto current critical debates in architectural and visual culture. Vinegar argues thatto read Learning from Las Vegas only as an exemplary postmodernist text--tounderstand it, for example, as a call for pastiche or as ironic provocation--is tounderestimate its deeper critical and ethical meaning, and to miss the underlyingdialectic between skepticism and the ordinary, expression and the deadpan, that runsthrough the text. Vinegar's close attention to the graphic design of Learning fromLas Vegas, and his fresh interpretations of now canonical images from the book suchas the 'Duck, ' the 'Decorated Shed, ' and 'Recommendationfor a Monument, ' make his book unique. Perhaps most revealing is his closeanalysis of the differences between the first 1972 edition, designed for The MITPress by Muriel Cooper, and the 'revised' edition of 1977, which wasradically stripped down and largely redesigned by Denise Scott Brown. The dialoguebetween the two editions continues with this book, where for the first time the twoversions of Learning from Las Vegas are read comparatively. Rereading one of the most influential architectural books of the twentieth century--as intellectual project, graphic design landmark, and prescient introduction to issues of concern today.
