Learning from Las Vegas 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 revision
includes the full texts of Part I of the original, on the Las Vegas
strip, and Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the
Decorated Shed," a generalization from the findings of the first
part on symbolism in architecture and the iconography of urban
sprawl. (The final part of the first edition, on the architectural
work of the firm Venturi and Rauch, is not included in the
revision.) The new paperback edition has a smaller format, fewer
pictures, and a considerably lower price than the original. There
are an added preface by Scott Brown and a bibliography of writings
by the members of Venturi and Rauch and about the firm's work.
