Review of Las Vegas Studio
Art and photography blog 5B4 features an insightful review of Las Vegas Studio. The book reproduces the groundbreaking images from Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour's classic treatise in architectural theory Learning from Las Vegas alongside new essays that explore how the pictures contemplate the phenomenon of the modern city and forge the link to architectural practice of the decades since.
From 5B4's Review:
"Las Vegas Studio: Images from the Archive of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown in design and execution is the exact opposite of the gaudy flash of its content. Cool, calculated and elegant, it embraces an aesthetic which is so controlled and clean that it manages to somehow reign in the explosion of typography, color, and scale that the photos describe."
