A celebration of the work of contemporary architect David Rockwell, at the intersection of architecture and performanceDavid Rockwell's fascination with theater has long informed his built work, which includes hotels, restaurants, and cultural institutions. Drama explores the core principles that Rockwell uses to enhance the impact of his architecture, with contributions from experts across the creative world - from record producer Quincy Jones to chef Jose Andres. It's both an exciting new insight into the work of an important contemporary architect and a compelling case for the virtues of interdisciplinary collaboration.
