Further Accolades And Outrage Ensued In 1972 When Venturi And Denise Scott Brown (Along With Steven Izenour) Analyzed The Las Vegas Strip As An Archetype In Learning From Las Vegas. Now, For The First Time, These Two Observerdesignertheorists Turn Their Iconoclastic Vision Onto Their Own Remarkable Partnership And The Rulebreaking Architecture It Has Informed.The Views Of Venturi And Scott Brown Have Influenced Architects Worldwide For Nearly Half A Century. Pluralism And Multiculturalism; Symbolism And Iconography; Popular Culture And The Everyday Landscape; Generic Building And Electronic Communication Are Among The Many Ideas They Have Championed.
