Encounters is the first book dedicated to the perceptive photographic work of Denise Scott Brown, one of the most influential postwar architects and co-author of Learning from Las Vegas. Gathering images from the 1950s to the 1970s, it reveals how Scott Brown used photography as a tool for observation, research, and design—capturing the everyday textures of cities, suburbs, and social life. From her early years in Johannesburg to her travels through Europe and the United States, these photographs trace the visual and intellectual foundations of her architectural thinking, offering new insight into the role of seeing and documenting in her broader creative practice.
