In the history of architecture, the cities of Rome and Las Vegas appear in stark contrast: while the former capital of the Roman Empire is perceived as ancient, elegant and multi-layered, "Sin City", the city of sin, is considered garish, vulgar and artificial. And yet both cities are historically and contemporarily located at the interface of power and play.

Fifty years after the publication of Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi's iconic book "Learning from Las Vegas" (1972), the photographs in this book reveal unsuspected similarities and connections between the two cities, from the air to the ground; the spectacle of Las Vegas is rediscovered on the streets of Rome. Iwan Baan's photographs contrast and undermine conventional notions of authenticity and artificiality, ultimately challenging such polar categorisations. In this way, the photographs discuss Scott Brown and Venturi's plea to first look, understand and only then judge.
