Construire des salles de cinéma durant les Trente Glorieuses : le cas méconnu de l’architecte Georges Peynet by Andrés Avila Gómez

“…This is the case of architectures designed for cinematographic exploitation, whose research and publications devoted to their evolution (Meusy; Abadie) have so far specifically addressed the periods of its birth (1895-1918) and development (between the wars), without examining the intense theatre construction activity since the Reconstruction.In this context, and based fundamentally on the analysis of architectural and film periodicals of the time, our text presents a first approach to the figure of the most prolific theatre designer in France from the 1940s to the 1970s: Georges Peynet. …”
