(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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"biblio-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eFormat\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback | 208 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eDimensions\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e152 x 229 x 11mm | 340g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"datePublished\"\u003e11 Jul 2005\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemscope=\"MIT Press Ltd\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/publishers\/MIT-Press-Ltd\" itemprop=\"url\"\u003eMIT Press Ltd\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eImprint\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMit Press\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication City\/Country\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCambridge, United States\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eLanguage\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eEdition\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRevised\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eEdition Statement\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erevised edition\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eIllustrations note\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e180 color illus., 358 b\u0026amp;w illus.; 538 Illustrations, unspecified\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN10\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e026272006X\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN13\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9780262720069\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Basheer Graphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40998543950019,"sku":"026272006X","price":41.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/7032\/products\/289_8c6d065f-9809-4420-9fdb-94ba4d23e40b.jpg?v=1634644745","url":"https:\/\/www.basheergraphic.live\/products\/learning-from-las-vegas-the-forgotten-symbolism-of-architectural-form","provider":"Basheer Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
