Your Guide to Downtown Denise Scott Brown

Denise Scott Brown has shaped the course of contemporary architecture since the 1960s. She is particularly well known for Learning from Las Vegas, an enormously successful research project with her companion in life and work, Robert Venturi, and Steven Izenour, which challenged the way many architects saw the city. Widely cited and sometimes misunderstood, Scott Brown’s insistence that we cast a critical eye on modernism ignorant of context, history, and joint creativity remains impactful today. As a new generation of architects and urban planners face a new set of environments and challenges, the time has never been more ripe to rediscover her undogmatic formal language and careful urban interventions.
The first book to focus exclusively on Denise Scott Brown, Your Guide to Downtown Denise Scott Brown Brown reaches beyond that foundational part of her work. It offers an entirely new way to view her achievements more broadly as an architect, urban planner, theorist, and educator. The book takes readers through her childhood in 1930s South Africa and her education in 1950s England, to her well-known work in photography, her writings and studies, and her work as an architect and urban planner on four continents. Lavishly illustrated, the book features a wealth of previously unpublished material, most of it in full color.
Denise Scott Brown hat die Entwicklung der Architektur seit den 1960er-Jahren in vielfältiger Weise mitgeprägt. Ihr rebellisches Leben führt sie durch drei Kontinente – von der Kindheit in Südafrika in den 1930er-Jahren über die Ausbildung in England in den 1950er-Jahren bis zu Arbeit und Lehre in den USA.
Ihre Entwürfe und Theorien – viele davon gemeinsam mit ihrem Arbeits- und Lebenspartner Robert Venturi entwickelt – sind weltbekannt, wurden aber auch oft missverstanden. Aus ihrem Universitätsprojekt zu Las Vegas von 1972 entstand das legendäre Buch «Learning from Las Vegas», dessen visueller und sozialer Einfluss bis heute spürbar ist. Heute, da sich eine jüngere Generation von Architekten wieder dieser Komplexität verschreibt, erhebt Scott Brown weiterhin ihre Stimme als entschiedene Kritikerin einer Moderne, die Kontext, Geschichte und gemeinsame Kreativität ignoriert. Ihre undogmatische Formensprache, ihre zurückhaltenden urbanen Eingriffe, aber auch ihre manieristischen Eskapaden sind reif für eine Wiederentdeckung.
