For 10 points, name this architect who designed a postmodern house for his mother Vanna in suburban Philadelphia.
A book by this man attacks buildings exemplified by a poultry shop in Flanders, New York, that appeared in Peter Blake's God's Own Junkyard. This man's approach to "ordinary" planning is summed up in his quip "Main Street is almost alright." He concluded that "firmness + commodity ≠ delight" in a book whose second section explores the difference between the architectural [*] "duck" and the "decorated shed." In that book, this man argues that "sheds" with large electric signs are a more efficient way of conveying meaning to passers-by on the Strip, and he uses Caesars Palace as an example. This man collaborated with Steve Izenour and his Pritzker-deprived wife Denise Scott Brown on Learning from Las Vegas.
