The design of bars and cafes has played an important role in the
development of architecture in the twentieth century. This
influence has been felt particularly strongly over the past thirty
years, in a time when these social spaces have contributed
significantly to the rediscovery and reinvention of cities across
Europe and North America.
This volume presents and examines this significant urban
architectural production, and discusses it against a background of
the design of cafes and bars across the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Major themes and developments are discussed and
illustrated with case studies, from the functionalist pre-World War
Two architects in Central Europe representing modern society
through the design of public spaces, right up to the design of
sophisticated bars and cafes as part of the recent urban
renaissance of Barcelona and Paris in 1980s and London in the
'90s.
