The City in Theory Photography and Film. Learning from Las Vegas - published in 1972 by the American architects Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour - marks the turn in architectural theory from modern to postmodern. Las Vegas in the Rearview Mirror explores the significance of this controversial publication by situating it in the artistic, architectural, and urbanist discourse of the 1960s and 70s, and by evaluating the books enduring influence of visual studies and architectural research. Referencing cinematic visuals, Learning from Las Vegas documented a sprawling postwar city from a moving car. Stierli
