Should Be Standard-Issue For Production Designers!, December 21, 2003
This review is from: Film Architecture: From Metropolis to Blade Runner (Architecture S.) (Paperback)
With a degree in architecture and a decade in the film industry I was delighted to wander across a book that brought both disciplines together in a language that students of both crafts might understand. The collection of essays provide access to the design decisions that faced the Production Designers of films from the dawn of "designed" cinema in the 1920's to the doorstep of filmmaking in the 1990's.
If you find this book "too wordy" then chances are that this isn't the book for you as it is studied, researched and filled with images that most film fans have never before seen. It is a glimpse into the thought processes and schedule demands that shape the final look of a film.
This book should be highly sought by fans of design and film alike.

Thorough and informative., July 23, 2007
This review is from: Film Architecture: From Metropolis to Blade Runner (Architecture S.) (Paperback)
I checked this book out from our school's library and found it to be very exceptional. Anybody who is interested in set design, German Expressionism, film, or photography will enjoy this book.
Great images, text, and references.
