Summary:

For Denise Scott Brown, photography has long served as a critical medium through which to perceive, document and think about the world in which designers operate. Through the lens of her Alpa camera, she seeks to penetrate the irreducible complexities of life around her and to make a case for the architect and planner's role in intervening within it.Encounters presents for the first time an essential collection of Scott Brown's photography from the 1950s to the 1970s: formative decades during which she departed her childhood home of Johannesburg to study in London, traveled through Africa and Europe, moved to the United States, developed the profound interest in postwar suburbia from which the famed book Learning from Las Vegas (1972) would emerge, and joined her husband Robert Venturi in practice. Moving thematically through Scott Brown's photographic oeuvre, Encounters opens up new ways of reading this body of work, revealing in it a careful and studied practice of observing the everyday. -- back cover.
