The document summarizes a reaction paper about the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The authors argue that Modern architecture too strictly adheres to purism and style. They assert that architecture plays a vital role in communication through symbols and signs, as seen in the iconic structures along the Las Vegas Strip. While Modernists focus only on physical form and function, the authors believe architecture should be more creative and open-minded. They view the bold signs and symbols in Las Vegas as effective communication tools that enhance the experience and identity of the city.

Learning from las vegas reaction
This document provides a synopsis of the text "Learning From Las Vegas" which analyzes the unique urban form of the Las Vegas strip. It notes that signs and symbols have replaced architectural form as landmarks and means of expression. Buildings are reduced to modest structures covered by signs, emphasizing semiotics where signs create meaning and communicate to drivers. The mass commercial nature and high-speed traffic of the strip necessitated large signs as the most economic way to appeal to customers. The lack of existing culture in Las Vegas also explains the absence of architectural traditions compared to cities like Rome. In conclusion, communication across space is more important than architectural form in this environment, giving rise to a new symbolic order of highway signs.
Synopsis 2
The authors argue that Las Vegas Strip exemplifies postmodern architecture and how it can enhance a place rather than just its form. They describe how postmodernism uses symbols, forms, signage and imagery to represent Las Vegas, in contrast to modern architecture's pure forms. They suggest Las Vegas' analytical approach introduces communication and attracts attention through its commercial strip. Venturi et al. point out how Las Vegas brought postmodern inspiration through eclecticism and mass cultural styles along its strip. However, modern architects reject fine art and ornaments, using repetitive purist styles. Much of Las Vegas' architecture mixes styles through sculptures and icons.
Synopsis 1: Learning From Las Vegas by Robert Venturi
The document summarizes a reaction paper by a student on the book "Learning From Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The student summarizes that the book highlighted the need for architects and planners to consider the existing context in design, rather than just changing the environment. It also notes that Las Vegas is analyzed in the book as a phenomenon of architectural communication rather than morality. Additionally, the student states that the book teaches the importance of being understanding rather than authoritarian in urban planning, and that symbols and communication are important elements of architecture.
Reaction paper-01 a
This document provides a synopsis of a reaction paper for the course "Theories of Architecture & Urbanism" regarding the reading "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The synopsis discusses how the book highlights the vernacular language and symbolic architecture in Las Vegas, and how symbols create a sense of place and identity within the city's commercial strip. However, the student argues that directly translating building forms to provoke symbolism fails to represent social and public relationships, as styles are fragmented with no real correlation. While symbolic representation occurs, the architectural movement is neither right nor wrong as it is influenced by its unique context in Las Vegas.
Synopsis Reaction Paper
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theories. The first paper discusses how symbolism plays an important role in the architecture of Las Vegas through heavy reliance on signage. The second paper talks about how architecture should create feelings and memories for those using the spaces through consideration of human senses. The third paper examines Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism and how modernization can remove the original characteristics of a site.

Theories of Architecture and Urbanism "SYNOPSIS" Learning from Vegas.
The document summarizes a reaction paper on the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. The authors argue that modern architecture separated form from symbolism, but Las Vegas architecture recombined them to create unique buildings that grab attention through symbols over form. Venturi and Scott Brown assess the role of symbolism in architecture and argue it is important for buildings to have symbolic meaning representative of their context and purpose, rather than just interesting design. To understand places like Las Vegas, architecture must be viewed objectively in its own context rather than with preconceived notions of what architecture should be.
Synopsis 1: Learning From Las Vegas
The document summarizes a reaction paper analyzing the book "Learning From Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The paper discusses how the book criticizes modern architecture for failing to consider symbolism and instead focuses on enhancing the environment. It also explains how the Las Vegas Strip effectively uses symbolic architecture and signs to communicate within its vast spaces.
Tan yang text 2 a
The document summarizes a reaction paper by a student about the reading "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi. The student discusses two key points from the reading - that modern architects have abandoned traditional iconography, and that symbolic signage is important for communication and wayfinding. Venturi believes representational architecture may not effectively communicate to general audiences. The student concludes that they have gained perspective in considering architecture from an amateur view and how literal or symbolic elements can enhance usability.
Urban synopsis 2
The document summarizes four texts related to architectural theory:
1) The Geometry of Feeling argues that architecture should communicate emotive experiences rather than just being physical objects. It should evoke sensory memories and feelings.
2) Learning from Las Vegas discusses how symbolism dominates architecture in Las Vegas and questions how commercialization affects design. Symbols create better spatial relationships than forms.
3) Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes responding to the peculiarities of place, like topography and climate, rather than seeking placelessness. It advocates a dialectical relationship with nature.
4) Tactile qualities are an essential part of how we perceive architecture, not just visual elements. Critical regionalism aims to complement visual experience with tact
Urban 1
This reaction paper examines Robert Venturi's Learning From Las Vegas. It summarizes that Venturi examined how Las Vegas uses heavy imagery and signs for architectural communication compared to Rome's piazzas, which focus more on space than imagery. While signs provide direction and communication, especially in complex settings, the paper argues imagery should not overwhelm space. Architecture's main focus should be shape in space, with imagery translated intelligently based on context and purpose.
Combinepdf
The document summarizes and discusses four readings related to architectural theory:
1) Learning from Las Vegas discusses how Las Vegas architecture effectively uses symbols and signage for communication over focusing solely on space. Symbolism should be appropriately used and not overpower the space.
2) The Geometry of Feeling argues that architecture should create experiences and feelings for users beyond just appealing visually. It should influence emotions while serving practical purposes.
3) Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes embracing existing sites' topography, history and identity rather than removing them. Architecture should satisfy users while complying with regulations. It also emphasizes tactile surfaces that enhance sensory experience.
4) The fourth reading discusses how architecture fulfills its purpose phenomen
Comparative analysis project 2
The document provides a comparative analysis of two streets - Sejong-no in Seoul, South Korea and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Both streets serve as important nodes within their cities and share a similar linear urban configuration. The analysis examines the streets based on theories of human scale, necessary and optional activities, and contact points to determine the criteria for a good urban habitat. Key contact points are identified along Sejong-no that increase walkability and human interaction.
Synopsis 3: Geometry of Feeling by Juhani Pallasmaa
The document summarizes a reaction paper by Calvin Suah Jake Ginn about the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The key points made in the reading are that architects should prioritize how a building makes people feel over its physical form. A building's image is more important than its design elements. The reading also discusses how perception can lead to various interpretations of art and architecture, and how spaces should be designed to evoke feelings and memories for their occupants.
Theories synopsis
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by Harwinder Singh Girn on assigned readings for an architecture theory course. The first paper discusses the book "Learning from Las Vegas" and how it argues architects should embrace symbolism over rigid forms. The second paper analyzes "The Geometry of Feeling" and how it claims architecture should prioritize user experience over just form. The third paper examines "Urbanism as a Way of Life" and how it views urban living as defining a culture beyond just physical structures.
Theories qayyum
This document contains 3 reaction papers written by a student on architectural theories. The first paper discusses the author Louis Wirth's theory of "Urbanism as a Way of Life" and how urban environments influence social behaviors. The second paper examines the book "Learning from Las Vegas" and how it highlighted the use of symbols over physical form in architecture. The third paper analyzes the concept of phenomenology in architecture and the importance of evoking emotional and experiential qualities in buildings.
Synopsis 3: The Geometry of Feeling
The author argues that modern architecture has lost its connection to the feelings and experiences it aims to evoke. Architecture has become more focused on form over meaningful experiences. The author believes architects should design buildings that transmit emotional imagery and tap into primary human feelings, rather than get carried away by unusual forms. Architecture is defined by how it makes people feel and the images it creates in them, not just its physical appearance. The text serves as a reminder for architects of their responsibility to consider how users will experience their buildings and feel within the surrounding context.
Synopsis Writing
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory texts. The first discusses how Learning from Las Vegas valued symbolism in commercial architecture over modernism's focus on form and function alone. The second examines The Geometry of Feeling and how architecture should stimulate human experience and feelings rather than just visual elements. The third discusses Kenneth Frampton's Towards a Critical Regionalism and his calls for integrating culture and nature and emphasizing tactile senses in architecture over just visual aspects.
Theories Reaction Paper (Text 4): The Geometry of Feeling
The document summarizes a reaction paper about the book "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. Pallasmaa argues that architecture should evoke emotions and feelings in users rather than just focusing on technical and visual aspects. He believes the form of a building triggers emotions through what it represents and that architecture should have associations for those who use it. Pallasmaa also connects architecture to other art forms that can elicit strong emotions. He thinks architectural considerations should first focus on familiarity and feelings for users before practical purposes.
3. the geometry of feeling
The document summarizes a reaction paper about the article "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The article questions whether modern architecture provides the same feelings as older architecture due to today's focus on materialism. It states that the planning of architectural form nowadays does not consider how people will experience spaces. However, great modern architects like Tadao Ando design with phenomenology in mind. While form can stimulate senses, the meaning of a work of art does not lie in its forms but in the feelings and images they convey. In conclusion, meaningful architecture awakens the imagination through multisensory experiences and allows people to experience history through old architectural elements.
0319016 phenomenology of architecture (ver3)
The document summarizes a reaction paper about a reading on phenomenology of architecture. The author discusses how architecture should be experienced through senses rather than just its physical forms. Architecture is best perceived through conscious observation without preconceptions to evoke imagination and memory. However, such pure experiences are subjective. While qualitative experiences are important, objective assessments of architecture are also needed. The author reminds designers to consider user experiences over just design elements. Yet to construct experiential spaces, architecture still needs to be carefully designed through tangible components and elements.
0319016 critical regionalism txt 5&6 (ver 3)
This document summarizes a reaction paper analyzing Kenneth Frampton's theory of critical regionalism in architecture. The paper discusses how modern architecture prioritizes standardization and cost efficiency over local context and climate, resulting in placeless designs. However, current regulations encourage standardized, repetitive designs for efficiency. The paper argues that while modernism need not be rejected, architectural design should optimize the site context and utilize local materials to stimulate the senses and create a sense of place, instead of solely focusing on visual impression. In summary, the author advocates for a critical regionalist approach that responds to local conditions in tropical countries like Malaysia.
Synopsis of Theories of Urbanism and Architecture
- The document discusses four reaction papers written by a student named Lim Jern Jack in response to readings about architecture and theory.
- The first paper discusses a text by Frank Lloyd Wright about architecture complementing nature rather than being driven by technology.
- The second paper examines a text interviewing Jacques Derrida about deconstructive architecture and how it creates new histories.
- The third paper analyzes a text about how senses and memory shape perceptions of space.
- The fourth paper considers Kenneth Frampton's ideas about critical regionalism and resisting placelessness in large urban regions.
Synopsis 3 geometry of feeling
Juhani Pallasmaa discusses different views on architectural form and how it relates to spatial experience. Some see form as too abstract while others think it is too focused on appearance over experience. Pallasmaa believes experience is important through senses beyond just vision. He also explains that strong architecture evokes feelings of loneliness and silence through designs like Tadao Ando's Church of Light or the Holocaust Tower. Finally, Pallasmaa states that creating architecture for an "ideal client" is essential for producing good architecture tailored to a specific user.
The geometry of feeling
The document summarizes a reaction paper written by a student named Eunice Chan Yu Ming about the reading "The Geometry of Feeling" by Juhani Pallasmaa. The author of the reading stated that architects design buildings to portray images and feelings for those who live in them, not just as physical objects. The student agrees that how people experience and perceive a building is important, not just its visual form. A building should create a pleasant journey within its spaces and stir people's emotions and senses. The meaning of a building lies not in its physical form but in the feelings and character it conveys to those experiencing it. Architecture is about more than just form - it influences people mentally and spiritually through the world and

Pallasma argues that architecture has shifted from prioritizing emotional and sensory experiences to focusing solely on practicality and form. She believes architecture should stimulate memories and emotions in users rather than just pleasing visually. Pallasma asserts that good architectural form does not necessarily translate to good user experience. Instead, architecture should fulfill users' emotions through stimulating childhood memories to forge deep connections between people and buildings.
2 a synopsis
The document summarizes key points from the reader "Learning from Las Vegas" by Venturi, Brown, and Izenour. It discusses how modernist architecture emphasized structure and program over ornamentation. The authors note how Las Vegas uses signs and symbols extensively in architecture to communicate complex information simply. Large commercial developments require dominant signage to attract people, while narrow bazaar streets stimulate senses through context alone. In conclusion, architecture has always conveyed messages through ornaments, forms, facades, signs and symbols depending in context. Modern architects face challenges around maintaining sense of place versus international homogeneity.
Synopsis 1
This reaction paper summarizes and analyzes the reading "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour. The authors studied the Las Vegas Strip and argued that it emphasizes iconography and symbolism over architectural form to represent the programs of buildings. They use examples like a duck-shaped store to show how architecture can define space through abstract symbols rather than just form. While Las Vegas has a modern appearance, the city actually uses traditional methods of communicating space through symbolic signage and false fronts rather than meaningful architectural form.

Reaction paper 1 Learning from Las Vegas
The document discusses a reaction paper analyzing the text "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The paper argues that while architects focus on spatial characteristics as defining architecture, the authors correctly point out the importance of symbolism and iconology. This is evidenced by the Las Vegas Strip, where large symbolic signs provide orientation in the vast desert spaces and have become the unifying architectural style. In conclusion, the paper finds that architecture and symbolism are inseparable and relevant, with symbols enhancing rather than diminishing the spatial aspects of design.

He believes the architecture of casinos and supermarkets that prominently feature signs are a valid response to the need to communicate with people in cars traveling at high speeds. Venturi also suggests that the disorder of the Las Vegas Strip is purposefully designed around vehicular travel rather than aesthetics from a standing viewpoint. Architecture in Las Vegas uses signs, forms, and locations as an integrated system tailored for cars. Huge blinking signs are what define Las Vegas, while buildings without prominent signs seem out of place.
Las vegas
The document summarizes the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. It discusses how Las Vegas has undergone enormous changes over the years and has become known as a phenomenon of architectural communication. Symbols, especially large signage, dominate the space and create Las Vegas as a communication system. While architecture plays a slight role through building setbacks and parking lots, signs communicate across large open spaces. The authors compare Las Vegas to Rome's Piazza in having huge scales, high speed routes, and large connected spaces that can accommodate many activities. In conclusion, the document agrees that symbols are important for guidance but should not overpower architecture, which delivers human civilization and
Theory synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theories. The first paper discusses how symbols dominate space in architecture, using the Las Vegas Strip as an example. The second paper examines the importance of experience and feelings in architecture rather than just physical form. The third paper advocates for the approach of Critical Regionalism to reconnect buildings with their local context through appropriate integration of natural elements, climate, materials, and culture.
Reaction paper
- Louis Wirth defines urban life as having large, dense, and heterogeneous populations that lead to social segregation, dependence on others, and impersonal interactions. Urban environments foster competition and instability.
- Robert Venturi argues that in Las Vegas, symbolism and signs are more important for communication than architecture. Big signs connect drivers to casinos and shops in the vast landscape.
- Juhani Pallasmaa criticizes modern architecture for being too simplistic and lacking depth. Architecture should stimulate memories and senses to create a sense of place, otherwise it is just a detached monument.
Urban Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theory texts. The first paper discusses the book "Learning From Las Vegas" and how it analyzes Las Vegas as using architectural symbols and signs effectively. The second paper discusses the book "The Geometry of Feeling" and how it argues that a building's form alone does not determine its purpose and that user experience is also important. The third paper discusses two chapters from the text "Towards a Critical Regionalism", which argues that architecture should be more integrated with its natural environment and engage more than just visual senses.
Text 2-las-vegas-reaction-paper-foo-shi-ko
The document summarizes a reaction paper by a student about the book "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The book argues that modern architecture failed to consider context and the broader environment. Instead, symbolic elements like large signs in Las Vegas play a stronger role in spatial relationships and connecting with people than the buildings themselves. The student agrees and feels architecture should better integrate art, culture, and symbols from the surrounding context to communicate with the community rather than just adding buildings.
Project 2 Synopsis
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on architectural theory texts. The papers discuss 1) Georg Simmel's argument that modern urban life has altered human mental states, 2) Christian Norberg-Schulz's views on reconciling modernism and tradition in architecture, 3) Juhani Pallasmaa's perspective on architecture's role in shaping human memory and identity, and 4) Kenneth Frampton's proposal of "critical regionalism" in architecture. The student provides analysis and examples to support or critique arguments from the original texts.
Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory readings. The first discusses Learning from Las Vegas, noting how the book analyzes Las Vegas' emphasis on symbols over forms in architecture and urban planning. The second covers The Geometry of Feeling, which examines how architecture can arouse personal feelings and memories through sensory experiences. The third is on Towards a Critical Regionalism, which emphasizes achieving regional identity in architecture by incorporating local culture, nature, and tactile sensory qualities over visual elements.
Reader 2A: Learning from Las Vegas
This document summarizes a reaction paper about the reader "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi. The reader analyzed the symbolic architecture and forms in Las Vegas to understand contemporary urban sprawl. Venturi argued that in Las Vegas, symbols and signs took precedence over architectural form to communicate with drivers at high speeds. Examples included large flashy signs and the 1/3 scale Eiffel Tower replica in Paris Las Vegas Casino Resort. More broadly, the document suggests that in many commercial areas, signage and styles define spatial relationships more than architectural forms. To be a revolutionary architect requires accepting changes and analyzing everyday landscapes rather than ignoring or criticizing them.
Synopsis 1 - Learning From Las Vegas
This document provides a summary of the article "Learning from Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The article criticizes modernist architecture for being harsh, intolerant, and neglecting local cultural context. It argues that postmodernism arose to counter the phenomenon of modernism desensitizing people to the embedded humanity within culturally characteristic buildings. The authors believe history must be studied to progress architecture forward. They analyze how Las Vegas architecture, with its various revivals of older styles, became a playground for postmodernism. Las Vegas is also described as a communication system where billboards and facades attract drivers' attention in the competition between casinos.
Theories Reaction Paper (Text 2): Learning From Las Vegas
The document summarizes Robert Venturi's analysis of architecture and urbanism in Las Vegas as presented in his 1977 work "Learning From Las Vegas". Venturi argues that Las Vegas, with its billboard-filled commercial strip, demonstrates bold symbolic communication through signs that modern architecture rejected. While the Strip exhibits order, individual buildings are arranged loosely with glamorous facades and neon signs to attract consumers. Venturi also notes the accumulation of different architectural styles within the casinos' large interior spaces designed to manipulate visitors' sense of time and portray monumentality through artificial light.
Synopsis
The document summarizes three reaction papers analyzing texts about architecture and urbanism. The first discusses Doreen Massey's concept of place as having fluid, interconnected social relations rather than fixed boundaries. The second examines Robert Venturi's Learning from Las Vegas, noting how symbolism and signs are important for communication at large scales like the Vegas Strip. The third analyzes Juhani Pallasma's argument that architecture prioritizes vision over other senses and should aim to provide rich multi-sensory experiences.
Synopsis 3
Kenneth Frampton proposed the concept of "critical regionalism" as a progressive approach to architecture that seeks to mediate between global and local design languages. Critical regionalism aims to avoid placelessness of the International Style while also rejecting the individualism of postmodern architecture. He emphasized that architects should analyze and interpret local context and features with contemporary rather than traditional terms. Architecture should have a strong relationship with its surrounding context, cultural values, and local identity rather than being defined solely by technology or history. The author agreed with Frampton's perspective that architecture should bring back actual design components like topography, materials, climate, and structure, and avoid being a free-standing object isolated from its surroundings.
Synopsis 3
This document is a reaction paper for a course on theories of architecture and urbanism. It summarizes and analyzes the ideas of Kenneth Frampton on critical regionalism. Frampton believes architecture should be inspired by and pay tribute to local traditions and environments to counter globalization's threat to regional cultures. As students, we must design buildings relating to the culture of specific areas to preserve unique regional identities. Frampton also notes architecture must connect to the past to be sustainable. Boundaries define spaces, and spaces only begin with people, so architects should consider how place characteristics depend on people rather than independent buildings. In conclusion, the author realizes how critical regionalism establishes a strong sense of place crucial for a country's social

This document is a comparative analysis essay analyzing the public spaces of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Sejong Daero in Seoul, South Korea. It examines the scale, movement patterns of pedestrians, types of contact points, and degree of contact intensity in both locations based on the theories of Jahn Gehl. While Jalan TAR features dense shophouses and narrow alleys that encourage social gatherings, Sejong Daero has a larger scale with highways that scatter pedestrian movement. Both locations provide different social experiences for pedestrians due to varying qualities of their public spaces.
Reaction paper towards a critical regionalism
Critical regionalism provides that architecture should integrate local culture and nature. Frampton analyzes how considering the landscape and culture can create structures that appreciate the site's resources and identity. Industrial technology benefits design but can neglect culture and environment. Built forms should engage their specific locations through topography and context while balancing industrial techniques. Frampton explores how certain architects heighten sensory experiences through light, materials, and textures to trigger feelings. A balance of tactile and visual allows architecture to connect emotionally rather than superficially.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONOURS) IN ARCHITECTURE THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC61303/ARC2224) SYNOPSIS: REACTION PAPER (MARCH 2017) Name: Kan Sook San ID No.: 0319326 Lecturer: Mr. Prince Favis Isip Tutorial Time: 12.45pm -1.15pm Reader/Text Title: Learning from Las Vegas Synopsis No: 2 Author: Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, Steven Izenour Word Count: 336 Mark: Grade: Assessed by: Date: 7th June 2017 Page No.: 1 The authors address the issue of Modern architecture is restricted to maintain its purism in architectural style. The main pointof the authors is architecture plays a vital role in communication system as a holding power to resonate with the community as well as changing the perception of architecture with the symbol and sign along Las Vegas commercial strip as the architecture of the communication over space and built form. According to the reader, the authors are trying to prove that symbolism and iconology of Las Vegas commercial strip are also part of the architectural language that communicates well instead of physical built form and space. They criticize the pure form and functionality of Modern architecture have imposed limits on architecture where it is supposed to be freedom of creativity. For instance, modernist’s view in the long island duckling: modern architect see the duck in form and volume, they often shunned sign and ornament to convey the meaning. In addition, the authors think that architect should be more open-minded and less authoritarian in new initiative development. Given the information from the reader, symbolism is a guidance to confirm the sense ofdirection and type ofbold communication tool to convey message. The buildings are set back causing them to be half hidden and hardly halt any driver and pedestrian in vastlandscape along the linear strip. Actually, the bold sign slow down the movement of the car at the highway from a distance. Therefore, protruding enormous sign gradually dominates the building to prevent disconnection from the highway with a consequence of a new landscape of Las Vegas. From reading this text, it made a realization that architecture should be inclusive of many possibilities without judgemental and limitation. Each city has its own way of architecture to communicate as the users adapted their culture and needs to enhance the quality and identity of the city. The essence ofarchitecture is an endless learning process from everything that should be daring and perverse then leading to new discovery.
