Item description from seller

First edition in English of Italian architect, designer, and academic Andrea Branzi’s provocative essay—part summary and interpretation, part manifesto and blueprint—with a title riffed off Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown’s seminal Learning from Las Vegas. Published in 1988 by MIT Press. Branzi himself was at the epicenter of the Radical and Postmodern design movements in Italy, as a co-founder of Archizoom in 1966, Global Tools in 1974, Alchymia in 1976, and as a member of the Memphis Group in the early 1980’s. He was also an accomplished critic and historian of design and architecture, co-founding the Domus Academy in 1983—the first international post-graduate school of design. 8vo, pictorial wrappers, 79 pages with b/w illustrations. Warmly inscribed in Italian to his colleagues and friends, the renowned designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli (translation: “With lively and affectionate friendship—Andrea”) With a partial mailing label laid in. A significant association copy. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities. …
