Product Description
Product Description
The Supercrit series revisits some of the most influential architectural projects of the recent past and examines their impact on the way we think and design today. Based on live studio debates between protagonists and critics, the books describe, explore and criticise these major projects.
This second book in the unprecedented series examines Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's infamous book which overturned the barriers separating high architecture from the commercial architecture of the Strip.
In Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown: Learning from Las Vegas you can hear the couple's project description, see the drawings and join in the crit. This innovative and compelling book is an invaluable resource for any architecture student.

terrible binding
29 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
This review only applies to the hardcover edition. The content of this book is not the issue in this review. The hardcover edition consists of paper covered boards and a glue strip. For $132, I was expecting a sewn binding. Instead, the publisher merely took the paperback and glued it between boards. The cover detached itself from the interior the very first time I opened the book. Save the money and buy the paperback version, it will last longer.
