BOWLARAMA THE ARCHITECTURE OF MID-CENTURY BOWLING
Angel City Press
Chris Nichols with Adriene Biondo
In the post-war nation of World War II, bowling swept the US! For some, it's a hobby and for others it's a sport - but for many it was part of an ultimate modern lifestyle that many could participate in! This and more is explored in Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling where you can enjoy the art, architecture, and style that comes from these spaces. Bowling alleys were seen as modern palaces and firms were constantly interested in outdoing one another to have the most luxurious lanes, stunning bowling balls, and refreshment areas that were fantastic. In this book, you'l see vintage imagery from another era, hand-drawn architectural renderings and more that give you insight into what this meant for the nation!
DISCO: MUSIC, MOVIES, AND MANIA UNDER THE MIRROR BALL
Rizzoli
Frank Decaro
We love the disco era from the music, clothes, clubs, celebs, and more. It was a confluence of a number of amazing elements brought together in the '70s and in many respects, we can still see its impact on fashion, music, pop culture, and more. In Disco: Music, Movies, and Mania Under the Mirror Ball, this coffee table book tells you everything that you want to know and is available via pre-order right now.
This era was known for drug-fueled, DJ-driven, glam that came forward in a NYC loft party! It's also important to remember that Black and Latin queer culture which emerged in their clubs also infused this era and there are a number of historical struggles that the LGBTQ+ community were involved in at this time as well. This movement became a mainstream phenomenon which changed the overall culture in general.
Through vivid imagery, interviews and more, this book explores how this era has impacted the last 50 years and how it has been seen in film, TV, fashion, and interior design.
