David Rockwell's fascination with theater has long informed his built work, which includes hotels, restaurants, and cultural institutions. Drama, his new book published by Phaidon, explores the audience-centric core principles that Rockwell uses to enhance the impact of his architecture. It distills the emotional experience of both theater and architecture and encourages us to look at creativity in a more personal, empathic way. Woven throughout are contributions from experts across the creative world-from record producer Quincy Jones to curator Thelma Golden. Both the book and this site are a case for the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and an invitation to anyone-designers, students, and creatives of all kinds-to engage in a more storied approach to design.
