SEGD Fellow Denise Scott Brown began shaking up the Modernist design establishment in the 1960s. Her explorations and discoveries paved the way for Learning from Las Vegas, the iconic publication regarded as the opening salvo in the Postmodern design movement. And at 89, Denise continues to engage with the design world. She recently spoke to SEGD about her career as an architect, urbanist, teacher and writer.
