"While David Lynch's admirers have long marvelled at his talents as an engineer of
atmosphere, the director's architectural thinking has not received the scholarly
attention it deserves. The Architecture ofDavid Lynch is thus a welcome study. Brimming with insight and intelligence, this book inhabits the obsessive spatial topoi ofLynch's films, and finds there the traces of history. In Martin's fascinating account, Lynch's moody architecture is a way of engaging modernity's built
environments through the kinds of spaces that only cinema can fashion." Justus Nieland, Michigan State University, USA Drawing on primary research in Lódz, London, Los Angeles, Paris and Philadelphia, the book is structured around the prime symbolic spaces found in Lynch's work: the small town, the city, the home, the road, and the stage. Alongside a broad set of literary, cinematic and artistic
comparisons, a diverse range of urban and architectural theorists, including Mike Davis, Jane Jacobs and Richard Sennett, are discussed in
a new context.
