Duck Duck Shed: Celebrating Las Vegas Architecture, Design and Culture festival takes place October 27-30 at The Neon Museum. Neon museum is promoting Las Las Vegas as a cultural destination. The festival celebrates the city's pioneering architecture and its city culture. The museum's executive director Aaron Berger believes Las Nevada is the only place on earth like it.
Duck Duck Shed is a four-day event celebrating Las Vegas' iconic architecture from past to present. It celebrates the 50th anniversary of the book "Learning from Las Las" by Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi and Steven Izenour. The text is still considered required reading in many universities’ architecture programs. The authors developed the idea that buildings are either “ducks” explicitly and literally representing their function through their unique shape and design, or ‘decorated sheds‘. Examples of this concept include the Tropicana which opened in 1957 and Resorts World that opened just last year.
