Description

By 1915, Hollywood had become the epicentre of American filmmaking, with studio 'dream factories' structuring its vast production. Filmmakers designed Hollywood studios with a distinct artistic and industrial mission in mind, which in turn influenced the form, content and business of the films that were made and the impressions of the people who viewed them. The first book to retell the history of film studio architecture, 'Studios Before the System' expands the social and cultural footprint of cinema's virtual worlds and their contribution to wider developments in global technology and urban modernism.
