Learning from Las Vegas created a healthy controversy on its appearance in 1972, calling for architects to be more receptive to the tastes and values of "common" people and less immodest in their erections of "heroic," self-aggrandizing monuments.

This revision includes the full texts of Part I of the original, on the Las Vegas strip, and Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the Decorated Shed," a generalization from the findings of the first part on symbolism in architecture and the iconography of urban sprawl. (The final part of the first edition, on the architectural work of the firm Venturi and Rauch, is not included in the revision.) The new paperback edition has a smaller format, fewer pictures, and a considerably lower price than the original. There are an added preface by Scott Brown and a bibliography of writings by the members of Venturi and Rauch and about the firm's work.

Not enough material to make a shoe.

Shoes are very thin. Hardly any materials. However, if that's what you like for the price.

Sling back shoes but sling doesn’t stay up
Size: 8.5, Color: Cognac Suede
Strap on shoe that is the sling back doesn’t stay on. Keeps sliding off. I bought in size 8.1/2 which I usually wear. Too big. So I exchanged for an 8. And same problem. Slung back strap isn’t tight enough and falls down. The style is really nice so I’m disappointed they didn’t work.
