Denise Scott Brown is best known as part of one of the most acclaimed architectural partnerships in modern architectural history, Denise Scott Brown & Robert Venturi.

The seven main chapters and the conclusion provide a comprehensive insight into the world of legendary Denise and complete the knowledge necessary to understand her as an architect, an urban planner, a theorist, and a professor. Each chapter is richly illustrated. At the very beginning of the book is a letter that Denise wrote to the author. Her words are an authentic testimony of her life after 1967.
