Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A fascimile edition of the long-out-of-print large-format edition designed by design icon Muriel Cooper.Upon its publication by the MIT Press in 1972, Learning from Las Vegas was immediately influential and controversial.

The physical book itself, designed by MIT's iconic designer Muriel Cooper, was hailed as a masterpiece of modernist design, but the book's design struck the authors as too monumental for a text that praised the ugly and ordinary over the heroic and monumental.

Now, decades after the original hardcover edition sold out, the MIT Press is publishing a facsimile edition of the original large-format Cooper-designed edition of Learning from Las Vegas, complete with translucent glassine wrap. This edition also features a spirited preface by Denise Scott Brown, looking back on the creation of the book and explaining her and Robert Venturi's reservations about the original design.Learning from Las Vegas begins with the Las Vegas Strip and proceeds to 'Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the Decorated Shed,' on symbolism in architecture and the iconography of urban sprawl. As Scott Brown says in her introduction, the book upended sacred cows would not bad-mouth bad taste, and redefined architectural research.…
