The first publication dedicated to the photographic work of Denise Scott Brown (born 1931), a key postwar architect and co-author of Learning from Las Vegas. For Scott Brown, photography was a vital tool to observe, document, and think through the built environment. Drawn to the everyday and ephemeral, she used her camera for research, teaching, and design. Encounters brings together photographs from the 1950s to the 1970s, tracing her journey from Johannesburg to London and the United States, where she met Robert Venturi. Organized thematically, the book reveals her images as a sustained, critical practice of observation shaping her architectural thinking.
