Description
Temporary Pleasure: A Visual History of Nightclub Architecture, Design and Culture from the 1960s to Today
This book takes you on a journey through the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s. From psychedelic haunts of the New York pop art scene to post-club happenings of today, Temporary Pleasure reveals how nightlife spaces have adapted to meet the needs of each generation.
With stunning double-page spreads featuring detailed profiles and specs, as well as interviews with those who were involved in the scenes included, this book offers a unique look at the cultural, design, and architectural details that define club culture. A celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence, Temporary Pleasure feels more important than ever as we emerge from our Covid-induced isolation.
