This early manifesto of postmodernism was designed by Muriel Cooper (1925-1994), a pioneering graphic designer and one of the first designers to see the potential of computers as tools for inventing new ways to organise visual information. She was the first design director of the MIT Press, cofounder of the Visible Language Workshop at MIT, and the first woman to be granted tenure at MIT's Media Lab, where she taught a new generation of designers. Her work spans print to software interfaces. Learning from Las Vegas is compiled from research materials gathered in 1968 by students of a third-year graduate class at Yale School of Architecture, taught by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The class Learning from Las Vegas, or Form Analysis as Design Research, required the students to make a nonjudgemental study of the city and how it functioned, and their research was documented through photographs, films, maps, and diagrams. Muriel Cooper was tasked with translating the diverse materials from the studio into a book, initially planning for the book to be protected by a bubble wrap dust-jacket, with fluorescent dots on the boards. 'The visual materials were not only graphically rich but as content-laden as the text, so the interdependent rhythms of those relationships were important. I wanted to arrange visual and verbal materials spatially in a nonlinear way to enhance the reader's comprehension.' Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown were unimpressed and enacted a complete, much more traditional redesign for the 1977 paperback second edition, dismissing Cooper's work in their preface. Cooper's reputation and legacy have grown and grown since. Reinfurt & Wiesenberger, Muriel Cooper.

Pictorial cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. WARMLY INSCRIBED BY ROBERT VENTURI (AND SIGNING ALSO FOR HIS PARTNER DENISE BROWN) on the front free endpaper. A solid, well-preserved copy to boot of the 1972 1st edition of this seminal manifesto in urban planning. Clean and Near Fine in a crisp, price-intact, VG example of the notoriously fragile, printed glassine dustjacket. The jacket is at least 95% complete but does show just a bit of inevitable chipping -- in this case at the lower-tips, the foot of the spine and along the top-edges and the spine crown. Still though, solidly VG to VG+, very presentable and a significantly above-average example. Folio, a remarkable, exhaustive examination of the architecture of The Strip. Uncommon as such, the 1st edition inscribed by its principal author (and architect) and in such sharp condition.

Hardcover. Zustand: g+. First edition. Folio. XVI, [2], 188, [2]pp. Original printed glassine dust-jacket over cloth with gold lettering on spine and front cover. Color photograph pasted on front cover. Front free endpaper signed by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In 1968 Robert Venturi and Scott Brown, together with Steven Izenour, led a team of students to document and analyze the Las Vegas Strip, perhaps the least likely subject for a serious research project imaginable. "Learning from Las Vegas" is the result of this project. The work created a healthy controversy on its appearance in 1972, calling for architects to be more receptive to the tastes and values of "common" people and less immodest in their erections of "heroic," self-aggrandizing monuments. This work is divided into three parts: Part I, "A Significance for A&P Parking Lots, or Learning from Las Vegas;" Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the Decorated Shed;" Part III, Essays in the Ugly and Ordinary: Some Decorated Shed." It is profusely illustrated throughout with numerous plans, architectural drawing and b/w and color photographic reproductions. Errata slip included. Sporadic and minor chipping along edges of dust-jacket. Minor foxing on front free endpaper and half-title. DJ in overall good, binding and interior in very good condition.
