Learning from Las Vegas - Revised Edition

"Their insight and analysis, reasoned back through the history of style and symbolism and forward to the recognition of a new kind of building that responds directly to speed, mobility, the superhighway and changing life styles, is the kind of art history and theory that is rarely produced. The rapid evolution of modern architecture from Le Corbusier to Brazil to Miami to the roadside motel in a brief 40-year span, with all the behavioral esthetics involved, is something neither architect nor historian has deigned to notice...." -- Ada Louise Huxtable, The New York TImes

Learning from Las Vegas created a healthy controversy on its appearance in 1972, calling for architects to be more receptive to the tastes and values of "common" people and less immodest in their erections of "heroic," self-aggrandizing monuments.

This revision includes the full texts of Part I of the original, on the Las Vegas strip, and Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the Decorated Shed," a generalization from the findings of the first part on symbolism in architecture and the ...

Writer's Summit Tip #18:

Celebrate your Success!

Have a launch party for your book!

Many authors rely on a press announcement to get the word out for their book - that's not enough. Throw a party for your book!

Your inner circle wants to celebrate with you. Invite family, friends, neighbors, people from church, people from the office, people from your networking groups to your launch party.

They will all buy at least one book to help you celebrate the success. Offer them a copy of a "First run, numbered, personally dedicated book" - it is a collector's item.

Then give them a reason to buy 2 or 3 - discount the multiple sale and let them know they make perfect presents for whatever holiday is about to come up (Christmas, Mother's Day, Birthday).

You'll be amazed how many books you sell at a launch party and how well that launches your book into the marketplace!

Have a party!
