Denise Scott Brown reflects on her first visit to Las Vegas, feeling 'a kind of shiver' from the vibrant neon chaos, questioning whether it was horror or pleasure.
Together with Robert Venturi, Scott Brown challenged modern architecture norms, embracing the 'ugly ordinary' and the 'messy diversity' of everyday life represented by Las Vegas.
Jim Venturi's film 'Stardust' captures personal and cultural vignettes from Scott Brown and Venturi’s career, serving as a poignant time capsule with voices from influential critics.
Venturi compares the Las Vegas sign graveyard to Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio, expressing both reverence and humor in their exploration of the architecture of vulgar commercial America.
