First Edition Signed
First edition of this groundbreaking work. Folio, original blue cloth with illustrated frontispiece, illustrated throughout. Signed by both Robert Venturi (who has added a large drawing of Venturi's Mother's House) and Denise Scott Brown. With the original prospectus of the book laid in. In near fine condition. A very sharp example. "Their insight and analysis, reasoned back through the history of style and symbolism and forward to the recognition of a new kind of building that responds directly to speed, mobility, the superhighway and changing life styles, is the kind of art history and theory that is rarely produced. The rapid evolution of modern architecture from Le Corbusier to Brazil to Miami to the roadside motel in a brief 40-year span, with all the behavioral esthetics involved, is something neither architect nor historian has deigned to notice" (The New York Times).

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Edition. First edition, first printing with the errata slip laid in. Inscribed by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour on the front flyleaf, alongside two post-it notes inscribed by Venturi. Folio: xvi, [2], 189 p. with numerous photographs, architectural plans, etc. Original gray cloth binding, lettered in gilt, with a color photograph mounted on the front panel. In the original printed glassine dust jacket, which is a bit edgeworn with a few unobtrusive tape mends. Learning from Las Vegas caused a stir in the architectural world upon its publication, as it was hailed by progressive critics for its bold indictment of Modernism, and by the status quo as blasphemous. A split among young American architects occurred during the 1970s, with Izenour, Venturi, Robert A.M. Stern, Charles Moore, and Allan Greenberg defending the book as "The Greys", and Richard Meier, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, and Michael Graves writing against its premises as "The Whites". It became associated with post-modernism when magazines such as Progressive Architecture published articles citing its influence on the younger generation. Tom Wolfe's often-pilloried book, From Bauhaus to Our House, praises Venturi, Scott Brown, and Izenour for their stand against heroic Modernism.

First edition. Small folio, green cloth with inset label. Fine copy, dust jacket lacks small chips on the spine costing two letters (the first "L" and "M"), and with some little edge wear. Errata sheet present.
Pictorial cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: 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.
First Edition. An exceptional copy of an exceptional book, probably the most important architectural publication of the last fifty years, often described as the manifesto of architectural post-modernism. A fine copy in the printed tissue dust jacket, showing only slight wear; in a custom clamshell box. The book's design was widely praised at that time, as well as since. If not for the seismic influence of the work itself (although not universally accepted, given controversy and disagreement over its observations, conclusions, and view), it would be celebrated for this alone. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.

Hardcover. Condition: 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.
First Edition. Folio. Errata slip laid in. In 1968, Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour taught a third year studio graduate class at Yale that would have great implications on the study of architecture in the postmodern era. The class was called Learning from Las Vegas, or Form Analysis as Design Research. There were 13 students in total. In the end, their work would comprise the basis for the landmark architectural work Learning from Las Vegas, authored by Venturi, Brown, and Izenour, but compiled, researched and photographed by the students themselves. The seminal architectural text of its era, right there with Ruscha in terms of prescience and influence. Fine in a near fine jacket with a few edge nicks and a subtle vertical crease to the front flap. A remarkable preservation of a jacket that is usually missing or significantly perished: one of the best copies I have seen. Housed in a custom clamshell box.

First Edition. VENTURI, Robert. SCOTT BROWN, Denise. IZENOUR, Steven. Learning from Las Vegas. Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press, (1972). Folio, original full blue cloth, photographic onlay, original glassine dust jacket. $6000.First edition of this revolutionary book of architecture, signed by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. With rare original glassine dust jacket.Architect Robert Venturi, city planner Denise Scott Brown, and architect Steven Izenour's manifesto expressed their critiques of the plainness of modernist architecture, and extolled the virtues of a different aesthetic in which architects were more receptive to the tastes and values of average people. "The target of Venturi's attack is Mies van der Rohe's formula 'less is more', a phrase coined to denote a form of aestheticised functionalism. Venturi's response, illustrated by historic examples, is 'More is not less', or, in a particularly aggressive formulation, 'Less is a bore'. Venturi sets out to put his experience of Mannerism and Baroque to the service of a new concept of architecture by returning to the complexity in form and substance, of these two styles; at the same time his experience of contemporary Pop Art turns his thoughts to the everyday world of the consumer society" (Kruft, 440). The influence of this work extends far beyond architecture: it is credited with inspiring the post-modern movement in art and literary and social theory. This first edition includes a section on the architectural work of the Venturi and Rauch firm, and more and larger photographs than do revised editions. Without errata slip. Book fine, fragile glassine dust jacket with creasing, shallow chipping to extremties with no loss of text. A near-fine signed copy of a landmark work in postmodern architectural theory. Signed.
