Las Vegas Studio at Pacific Design Center MOCA
This past Saturday, I stopped by the MOCA at Pacific Design Center to view the latest exhibit, Las Vegas Studio: Images from the Archives of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. In 1968, a group or architects together with students from Yale University, made the city of Las Vegas the object of their study. The exhibit includes over 80 photographs and a selection of films short during the authors' research that were a crucial aspect of their architectural study. They provided a glimpse into 1968 - 1972 that were surprisingly ordinary, ugly and spectacular at the same time. Free to the public and on view until June 20th.
