TROPOLISM

Las Vegas is stripping away its fabulousness and trying a bit of modernism/urbanism. It's a free-for-all, in very many ways, which makes this project unique from the other free-for-alls.

Of note:

1. The developer thinks that architecture is a brand.

2. Brand-name architects are designing the "exterior architecture", and no one is mentioned as designing everything on the inside.

2a. The exterior has been branded.

2b. So totally perfect that they contacted Denise Scott-Brown.

3. The master plan attemps to create a walking, urban patch of density.

4. The architects have no idea how visitors to Las Vegas will react to Urban Density, set within Casino Density.
