Film Architecture From Metropolis to Blade Runner - Prestel 1996
Fully illustrated with many memorable backdrops to famous movies, this book combines original set designs with publicity stills and prints from actual footage. It elucidates the role of both the set designer and the architect in a creation of a movie, documents the process from the initial sketch to the final product, and highlights the diverse and complex relationship between two leading artforms of the 20th Century, film and architecture.
Beginning with the expressionistic and psychological sets in films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Algol, this fascinating study examines the bleak view of the future in Metropolis, moves on to experimental depictions of visionary modern cities in Asphalt, Sunrise, Blade Runner and Dick Tracy.
Published in conjunction of the exhibition organised by Dietrich Neuman for the David Winton Bell Gallery, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island in 1996.
