Learning from Las Vegas, facsimile edition

Více o knize

The book presents a pivotal argument that the architecture of Las Vegas, particularly its billboards and casinos, deserves critical attention, challenging traditional architectural norms. Initially released in 1972, it was designed by Muriel Cooper and became a modernist design icon, though the authors later deemed it too grand for their message. This facsimile edition revives the original large-format design, accompanied by a preface from Denise Scott Brown, reflecting on its creation and the authors' views on the design's monumental nature.
