Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Flashing facades, high-end-casinos and neon lights—isn´t that how one knows the gambling metropolis of Las Vegas? But what picture does the city have to offer beyond the pulsing pleasure boulevard The Strip? Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas shows us the unknown, desolate side of Las Vegas and its environs. There, where the suburbs in the desert encroach on nature and change it, the book reveals the surprising connenctions between the abstract architectonic sculptures which mark the image of Las Vegas, and the spacious abstractions of nature in the Mojave Desert. In Learning from Las Vegas Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown focused on the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, analyzing the city for its postmodernist qualities while ignoring the Mojave desert immediately beyond. Exploring the city at the same time as Venturi and Scott-Brown, the renowned architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham focused his attention on what he saw as the strikingly modernist spaces of the Mojave desert and disregarded the postmodernist lure of the Strip. Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas presents neither a modernist nor a postmodernist view of the city and its environment. The text and images do not project ideals of urban development, nor do they solve social and environmental problems. Rather, they present a hybrid landscape shaped and reshaped by practices of everyday urbanization for a city now characterized as the “first” city of the 21st century. They offer a “third site”; exposing the complex but often interstitial spaces of everyday production and consumption tied to physical and virtual place making as well as contemporary local and global investment. This perspective reframes the seamless surfaces of draped neon lights, curtain walls, and landscape features layered onto the Mojave?s stark topography, uncovering distinct strata that respatialize the social, cultural, and environmental implications of urbanizing a fierce yet fragile desert.

Berlin, Jovis, 192 S. Mit zahlr. auch farb. Abb. Fadengehefteter Originalpappband mit Schutzumschlag. Mit Mängelstempel auf Fußschnitt erworben, sonst gut. - Text in engl. und dt. -- Die Urbanisierung der Mojave-Wüste: Las Vegas zeigt eine hybride Landschaft, die durch alltägliche Urbanisierungspraktiken ge- und überformt wird. Die gezeigten Bilder projizieren weder Ideale städtischer Entwicklung noch lösen sie soziale oder umweltbezogene Probleme. Sie bieten eine "dritte Sichtweise", die die Verbindungen zwischen den Räumen alltäglicher Produktion und Konsumption, der Schaffung physischer und virtueller Orte sowie lokaler und globaler Investition aufzeigt.
