Résumé:
The second volume tracing the history of Britain's most famous cinema circuit continues the story from 1942 when J. Arthur Rank took control after the death of its founder, Oscar Deutsch. Odeon expanded rapidly and was eventually merged with Rank's other circuit, Gaumont cinemas, as part of The Rank Organisation. The book shows in great detail how Odeon adapted to the wide screen and roadshow eras, built new cinemas and converted existing ones to two and three screens, but went into a sharp decline until the turnaround in cinemaattendances from 1985, fuelled by the arrival of American-style multiplex.By entering the race to build multiplexes and further subdividing its older sites, Odeon reasserted itself to become the largest chain in the UK. The book is copiously illustrated with 16 pages in colour and includes a list of the films given an Odeon circuit release from 1942 to 1959 and a complete record of all the cinemas ever operated by Odeon until it was sold by Rank in 2000.

Of all the elements in nature, none is more life affirming than water. We’re born into this wonderful world after swimming in the mysterious elixir for nine months, and then we spend the rest of our days seeking out its sustaining powers. When you consider that two-thirds of our bodies are comprised of water, it’s no wonder we are so drawn to it. And when nature doesn’t place water where we can easily access it, we have no problem bringing water to us in the form of luxurious swimming pools and hot tubs.

Résumé:
Skate-parks in abandoned industrial estates, ponies grazing alongside the former Berlin Wall, flea markets in disused warehouses, music and fashion in hard-to-let stores and climbing walls in development niches – scarcely a city in Europe has been so radically characterized by temporary use projects as has Berlin. Temporary use projects are increasingly of strategic importance for urban development, for space pioneers open up new development prospects at disused sites that defy the traditional urban planning. Combining a documentation of over 40 temporary use projects in Berlin with a series of essays and interviews, this book offers comprehensive insight into current discourse and proposes new guidelines for how temporary use projects might shape urban development.

Résumé:
Exhibition halls and sports arenas, factories and warehouses, airports and railway stations, arts centres and concert halls: big sheds are all around us yet the story behind their extraordinary growth has gone untold. Beginning with the roots of the big shed – including 19th-century iron structures, the work of Buckminster Fuller, Archigram, and the Pompidou and Sainsbury Centres – the book is organized by function: exhibitions, industry, transport, sports and arts. Together these areas account for the best examples of big sheds over the past twenty years, and include work by Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Jean Nouvel, Daniel Libeskind, Nicholas Grimshaw and Toyo Ito, among many others. From the vertiginous daring of Tokyo International Forum to Madrid’s award-winning Barajas Airport, these structures have changed the very nature of architecture. Throughout the book Pryce’s dramatic photography captures the buildings’ primal vastness, while technical drawings help explain how they were designed, built and function.
