Excellent- More about Eyes That Saw: Architecture after Las Vegas
At the peak of the 1968/69 students riots at American Universities, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, together with Steven Izenour, pursued their Design and Research Studio on the topic of Las Vegas at Yale School of Architecture. The results of this were condensed into the book Learning from Las Vegas that became a classic almost instantly upon its first publication in 1972. Forty years later, Eyes that Saw: Architecture after Las Vegas offers a richly illustrated collection of essays by renowned scholars of art and architectural history, eminent architects, and artists, investigating Learning from Las Vegas and its heritage from various perspectives.

At the height of the 1968/69 student riots at American universities, Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour embarked on a Design and Research Studio focused on Las Vegas at the Yale School of Architecture. The outcome of this endeavor was distilled into the seminal book Learning from Las Vegas, which achieved instant classic status upon its initial publication in 1972. The treatise ignited the 1970s architecture world and has continued to exert a profound influence on architects, educators, and theorists to this day. Forty years later, Eyes that Saw: Architecture after Las Vegas presents a captivating compilation of essays by esteemed scholars of art and architectural history, renowned architects, and artists. These essays explore Learning from Las Vegas and its legacy from diverse perspectives. Each chapter builds upon the understanding of the profound impact it had on architecture, urban design, visual art, and even history more broadly. Accompanying this collection are documents from the Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates Archive at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as an illustrated chronology of the international media resonance following the publication of Learning from Las Vegas in 1972.
