Summary:
Since the London Metropolitan Railway was opened in 1863 the subway has become a symbol of urban life. Tunnel systems are the lifelines of the big cities, transporting millions of passengers every day. The success story continues to this day, with existing networks being continually expanded and completely new systems being planned and built especially in Asia and the Arabian world. Beginning with Hector Guimard s Jugendstil entrances for the Metro in Paris, the design quality of the stations has always been an important aspect. With design, lighting, furnishings and frequently with artistic interventions, the underground complexes made of tracks, platforms and accesses have become the subject of great spatial creations. This volume provides an overview of the highly interesting and manifold current trends in underground construction around the world.

Summary:
Often dismissed as "greasy spoons", classic cafes are actually little gems of British vernacular high street commercial design. Here the last remaining enclaves – originally vilified in the 1950's for their embodiment “of corrupt brightness, of improper appeals and moral evasions . . . a sort of spiritual dry rot amid the odour of boiled milk” – are extensively reviewed, revealed and reappraised. For 50's Britain, cafes once represented a European dynamism that added much needed colour to Britain’s post-war social, artistic and commercial scene. However, by the late 1970's their original spirit had been extinguished and throughout the 80's and 90's they fell into disuse – despised and forgotten. Today these classic cafes retain a quintessential, poignant quality of lost English drabness and a "contemporary" utilitarian minimalist aesthetic that marks them out as icons of design.
