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. — MIT Press
45 years after its first publication, the groundbreaking book, Learning from Las Vegas, is still read, purchased and studied by architecture and urban planning students, thinkers and practitioners around the world.
Last year Archinect spoke with Denise Scott Brown about the Learning from Las Vegas on three themes: foundation, pedagogy, research.
MIT press is republishing a facsimile of the long discontinued, first hard cover edition of the book. The facsimile is sold for 100 dollars, much more than the paper back, but still much cheaper than the few remaining originals sold on the rare book market!
