David Rockwell’s work is rooted in his sense of play and possibility—an endless curiosity that continually drives him to ask, “What if?"
What if you could step inside a crystal goblet? What if your environment transformed with every step? What if a restaurant could vanish at a moment’s notice? What If…? presents a wide array of Rockwell’s brilliant explorations of the rich intersection between architecture and theater. Through immersive imagery and behind-the-scenes details, the monograph illuminates our approach to design by introducing readers to 35 projects, from initial driving idea through physical realization.
