In 1972, with Venturi and [[Steven Izenour]], Scott Brown wrote ''[[Learning from Las Vegas|Learning From Las Vegas: the Forgotten Symbolism of Architectural Form]]''. The book published studies of the [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] Strip, undertaken with students in an architectural research studio course which Scott Brown taught with Venturi in 1970 at [[Yale]]'s School of Architecture and Planning. The book coined the terms "Duck" and "Decorated Shed" as applied to opposing architectural styles. Scott Brown has remained a prolific writer on architecture and urban planning. The book joined Venturi's previous ''Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture'' ([[Museum of Modern Art]], 1966) as a rebuke to orthodox modernism and elite architectural tastes, and a pointed acceptance of American sprawl and [[vernacular architecture]].

Scott Brown and Venturi strove for understanding the city in terms of social, economic and cultural perspectives, viewing it as a set of complex systems upon planning. As part of their design process, the Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates firm studies the trends of an area, marking future expansions or congestions. These studies influence plans and design makeup. Such an approach was used for their Berlin Tomorrow Competition, putting the population movement and daily pattern in consideration. Similarly, the [[Bryn Mawr College]] plan took into consideration the landmark of the early campus and the usages of campus space prior to planning.<ref name="auto1">{{cite book|last1=von Moos|first1=Stanislaus|title=Venturi Scott Brown & Associates Buildings and Projects, 1986-1998|date=1999|publisher=The Monacelli Press|location=New York}}</ref>
Scott Brown holds a systematic approach to planning in what is coined as “FFF"FFF studios." In it, form, forces and function determine and help define the urban environment.<ref name="Out of the Ordinary">{{cite book|last1=Brownlee|first1=David B.|last2=De Long|first2=David G.|last3=Hiesinger|first3=Kathryn B.|title=Out of the Ordinary|date=2001|publisher=Department of Publishing|location=Philadelphia, Pennsylvania}}</ref> For example, the Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates firm studied both the expansion of Dartmouth College campus along with the wilderness surrounding the perimeter of the area.<ref name="auto1"/>
 
The fusion of Eastern and Western ideas in the [[Nikko Hotels|Nikko hotel chain]] are evident by merging the Western notion of comfort (62 Stanislaus Von Moos) with historical [[kimono]] patterns with their hidden order. The architecture applies a post-Las Vegas modern feel while projecting the traditional Japanese shopping street. Guest rooms are typically made with Western taste, with fabrics, wallpaper, and carpet exclusively from the Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates firm that reflect the scenery outside. In contrast, the exterior “street”"street" complex reflects Japanese urban and traditional life.<ref name="auto1"/>
 
With the firm, renamed Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown in 1980, and finally Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates in 1989, Scott Brown has led major civic planning projects and studies, and more recently has directed many university campus planning projects. By the beginning of the 1980s, Venturi and Brown had made huge success with their ideas and concepts. Criticscritics characterized them as the most influential and visionary architects of the time and continued their path with a clear approach, with their radical theories of design.<ref name="Out of the Ordinary"/> She has also served as principal-in-charge with [[Robert Venturi]] on the firm's larger architectural projects, including the [[Sainsbury Wing]] of [[London National Gallery|London's National Gallery]], the capitolseat of the departmental buildingcouncil in [[Toulouse]] and the Nikko Hotel and Spa Resort in Japan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vsba.com/whoweare/index_team.html|title=VSBA Homepage|access-date=August 23, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061015154318/http://www.vsba.com/whoweare/index_team.html|archive-date=October 15, 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>
