New York, N.Y.
The Museum of the City of New York will hold a special program with architect and Broadway set designer David Rockwell and City Museum curator Donald Albrecht as they explore architecture as a narrative art and theater as inspiration for design innovation and visionary thinking on Monday, November 4, 2013.
Like mid-century design leaders Norman Bel Geddes and Russel Wright (who worked for Bel Geddes and went on to a celebrated career as a product designer), David Rockwell (Kinky Boots) today is influenced by the stage to create theatrical experiences in his architecture and his interior designs.
The event is co-sponsored by Manitoga/The Russel Wright Design Center and presented in conjunction with Norman Bel Geddes: I Have Seen the Future, which opened at the Museum of the City of New York in October.
