Some of the more obvious categories can be broken down by era, region or country. At its most specific, a single architect might be responsible for a certain look. But no matter which view one chooses to take, each characteristic is fixed in time and geography, and belies a greater cultural influence.
Although by no means exclusive to Thailand, rooftop dimensional signage was almost universal on Thai stand-alone movie theaters built between the 1930's and 1980's. No conversation about Thai theater architecture from this era would be complete without its mention. Decorative fonts were combined with neon-lit outlining to create what was often the most attractive signage around. This eye-catching detail, usually mounted on the theater's roof, is completely absent from Burmese cinemas. In neighboring Laos, however, it did occasionally occur.
So in homage to this nearly-lost art, one of the boldest signatures in movie theater architecture out there, here's a series of dimensional signs from Thailand.
