Learning from Las Vegas. by Venturi, Robert et al. : William Stout Architectural Books : Books on architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design, and landscape architecture.

"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.
