"Learning from Las Vegas" is a book by architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, published in 1972. It critiques modernist architecture and emphasizes the importance of symbolism and context in design. The authors argue that the vibrant, eclectic style of Las Vegas offers valuable lessons for architects, highlighting how buildings can communicate meaning and engage with their surroundings. The book introduces the concept of "decorated sheds," where the structure's form is less important than its decorative elements. Venturi and Brown advocate for a more inclusive approach to architecture, encouraging designers to embrace complexity and contradiction, as seen in the diverse architectural landscape of Las Vegas.
