David Rockwell is an American architect and designer. He is the founder and president of Rockwell Group, a 250-person award-winning, cross-disciplinary architecture and design practice based in New York City with a satellite office in Madrid. There aren’t too many architects and designers that work in as many mediums as David.
As you’ll hear in this podcast, David got bit by the Broadway bug early in life, but then went on the unique path of designing other things, like hotels in Las Vegas, some of the most famous restaurants in the world, airport terminals, and more.
But thankfully for us, he came back to Broadway. And thankfully for me (and for all of you listeners), he sat down with me on the stage of my theater to talk about . . .
- How he comes up with ideas for the design of his shows.
- Why transitions are the most important factor in a design.
- Who taught him to work in our world, after designing in so many other mediums.
- How Producers should work with designers (and how he deals with Producers).
- When designers should be hired for a Broadway show.
