Bar and restaurant

the long version

"Over the last 20 years a renaissance of bar and restaurant culture has provided architects and designers with the opportunity to pursue a realm of ideas, experimenting with materials, light and colour to provide a dramatic backdrop to everyday life. Eating and drinking have become synonymous with fun and escapism, and the possible ways for interior spaces to achieve that combination are endless. Underground spaces, railway arches and train stations are all transformed into places to sit and relax." "Bar and Restaurant Interior Structures is an introduction to an international range of these diverse ideas about the design of bars and restaurants, identifying global influences in terms of style and culture. This collection of projects brings together current ideas and a glimpse of the possibilities that can be achieved in future interior space."--BOOK JACKET.
