Screen savers. Cinema's preservation in the international scene

The volume focuses on the situation of the cinema in the international panorama. A repertory of architectures that materialize technical, spatial and visual requirements, controlled in every single detail, from furnishings to design and art. Such a heritage is today threatened by abandonments, alterations and even demolitions. The book does not only intend to highlight the need to safeguard the cinemas that are still preserved today but also to raise new considerations on restoration and new compatible uses.
