Las Vegas Studio: Images from the Archives of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown presents original photographs and films produced in the context of the “Learning from Las Vegas Research Studio” conducted by architects Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour at the Yale School of Architecture in the fall of 1968. 

Out of this research resulted Learning from Las Vegas, a landmark treatise on architectural theory published in 1972. The exhibition is curated by Martino Stierli and Hilar Stadler in collaboration with artist Peter Fischli. 

MOCA’s presentation, organised by MOCA Curator Philipp Kaiser, follows presentations at Museum im Bellpark, Kriens, Switzerland; Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt, Germany; and Yale School of Architecture, New Haven, Conn. 

“The theory of communication in architecture set forth in Venturi and Scott Brown’s groundbreaking publication is crucial for experiencing space in major cities across the world, including Los Angeles,” commented MOCA Curator Philipp Kaiser. “Martino and Hilar have taken on the task of reappraising the engaging visual discourse from this study, and have directed our attention to the photographs themselves.”
