The Supercrit series revisits some of the most influential architectural projects of the recent past and examines their impact on the way we think and design today. Based on live studio debates between protagonists and critics, the books describe, explore and criticise these major projects.

This second book in the unprecedented series examines Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's infamous book which overturned the barriers separating high architecture from the commercial architecture of the Strip.

In Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown: Learning from Las Vegas you can hear the couple's project description, see the drawings and join in the crit. This innovative and compelling book is an invaluable resource for any architecture student.

Industry Reviews
"The Supercrit books are valuable historical documents, for the projects they describe and for what they tell us about the current conventions of architectural criticism and education. I look forward to the next instalments with enthusiasm. Resume: Supercrit me - the first two books are a taste of more good things to come." - Architects' Journal, 19th June 2008
