Episode notes

When you moved to New York City, you realized that its buildings weren't just buildings. The verticality of New York is really so many lives living within one structure. And it puts extra importance on the public realm to be open and public. It's probably the thing that led me initially to be most interested in the ground floor of the city.

As founder of the Rockwell Group, an award winning, cross-disciplinary architecture and design practice, David Rockwell has designed countless visual and spatial heartstoppers ranging from restaurants, hotels, airport terminals, and hospitals, to festivals, museum exhibitions, and Broadway sets. He joins to talk about his remarkable life and upcoming projects.
