The Architecture of Cinematic Spaces

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Architects will be most interested in the floor plans, though in the end it's the texts that are the most revealing. [...] I like the analyses of the authors, and it's nice to see the floor plans of the "extra-dimensional hotel" in 2001: A Space Odyssey; apartments from Playtime, Her, and Rope; and the house from Home Alone, among other primarily domestic spaces.' -- John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture Books 'The Architecture Of Cinematic Spaces, a visually-enticing illustration of key film locations from some of history's most lauded on-set dwellings, takes an interesting approach to help readers understand the importance of 'setting.' Covering a series of unprecedented designs from films [...] the book takes an artistic, but educated look into the science behind set design, illuminating the stories that each space can tell through a series of critical essays and original floor plan drawings.' -- HiConsumption 'A highly visual, graphic analysis of film in terms of architecture, cinematic spaces and production design, and discusses films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Rope, Le mepris, Playtime, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Home Alone, Panic Room, A Single Man, Her and Columbus. [The book] takes you on a journey through the fashion of the 1990s.' -- Classiq Journal
