Joanna Yoder grew up on a primitive Amish farm in Ohio. It was a land of horse-drawn buggies, picturesque cornfields, and hay-filled barns--a land of submissive wives, obedient children, and bearded dominant males. But it was also a land that Joanna was determined to flee, no matter what the price. Her journey to freedom took her from a one-room Amish schoolhouse to the competitive world of university sports and a degree in marketing. After accepting a position with a new and expanding sportswear company in Florida, her world took another giant leap forward. This new and very exciting world now included Bentley automobiles, luxurious hotels, and a mystrious and sexy med student. Finally liberated from her smothering past, Joanna welcomes this dream-world-come-true with open arms. What she didn't know, however, was that dreams sometimes become nightmares, and nightmares can become reality. This particular nightmare--whose name might or might NOT be Carlos--wanted more than a night of passion in a five-star Las Vegas hotel. What he wanted was part of Joanna's body!

Since it was first published in 1972, Learning from Las Vegas has become a classic in the theory of architecture, and one of the most influential architectural texts of the twentieth century. The treatise by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour enjoys a reputation as a signal work of postmodernism in architecture and urban planning. However, despite of the book’s prestige, none of the editions have ever featured high-quality color images of the field research Venturi, Brown, and Izenour conducted in Las Vegas and used to illustrate their argument. Las Vegas Studio presents for the first time these significant photographs in large color reproductions.
The numerous pictures and films the architects shot during their research in 1968 are a crucial aspect of their architectural study, which relies heavily on these images as the foundation of their ideas. The original slides of these pictures are held by Philadelphia architecture firm Venturi, Scott Brown, & Associates, which has only now opened its archive. Las Vegas Studio assembles a large selection of these iconic images and film stills, alongside essays that explore how the pictures contemplate the phenomenon of the modern city—forge the link to architectural practice of the decades since. Essays, including a discussion with celebrated Swiss artist Peter Fischli and highly renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas on the strong and lasting influence Venturi and Scott Brown's images still have on contemporary art and movies, complement the pictures.
A unique opportunity to experience the full intent and import of the Learning from Las Vegas project, Las Vegas Studio will be welcomed by architects, architectural historians, and scholars.
