Lecture
One half of the legendary architecture firm Venturi Scott Brown, coauthor of Learning from Las Vegas, and “a truly towering figure in the modern history of the building art” (New York Review of Books), Denise Scott Brown returns to GSAPP on her 81st birthday for a presentation and intergenerational conversation on fusion and discovery—from the kraals of her native South Africa to the Las Vegas and Santa Monica strips. Joining her on stage are Amale Andraos (WORKac and GSAPP), Cristina Guadalupe Galván (Idée Fixe), and Felix Burrichter (PIN–UP Magazine).
Copies of Denise Scott Brown’s Having Words, including seminal essays “Towards an Active Socioplastics,” “Sexism and the Star System,” and “Planning the Powder Room,” will be available at the event by McNally Jackson Books.
