More DescriptionEvaluates for the first time one of the foundational works in architecture criticism. Immediately on its publication in 1972, Learning from LasVegas, by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour, was hailed as a transformative work in the history and theory of architecture, liberating those in architecture who were trying to find a way out of the straitjacket of architectural orthodoxies.
