"Full of arresting images... Infused throughout the book is a relentlessly optimistic view that life can be made better and more beautiful if we start by simply designing better spaces, especially where people meet." - Associated Press"Get a behind-the-scenes peek into how some of the world's most spectacular sets come to fruition" - Elle Decor"What most distinguishes David Rockwell's work is its theatricality - its staging, scripting and razzamatazzing - and this book makes the point that, like spectacle, the ephemeral heightens the emotional impact of real life." - Design Observer"As its striking blue, curtain-like cover suggests, Drama embodies the excitement and anticipation of the theater. It is both a definitive collection of Rockwell Group's works and a compelling manifesto for multi-disciplinary collaboration. It distils the magic inherent in both theater and architecture and encourages us to look at creativity in a more personal, human-centered way." - Broadway World"Drama takes you on a journey of the art of imagining the drama of design." - Julie Taymor, director and writer of theater, opera and film"David Rockwell captures, in words, the way architecture on stage can place you in a moment in time - the same way seeing the sweep of the Brooklyn Bridge can evoke breathtaking drama. He explains it, and you sigh and say, 'Yea, that's exactly right. I get it.'" - Whoopi Goldberg"For the Soundtrack of America concert series [featured in Drama] that launched at The Shed NYC, David Rockwell and Adam Stockhausen designed a raw set that welcomed and united audiences and artists." - Steve McQueen"David Rockwell is a great leader and a great inspiration in the field of architecture, design, theatre design, and, well, you name it. He is a voracious creator, but he is an equally great listener with boundless curiosity. Drama shows you all sides of this great talent." - Frank Gehry
