Transforming Spaces with David Rockwell

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

The architect David Rockwell has had tremendous impact on the way that many people encounter spaces. Anyone who has walked through the restored Grand Central Terminal, eaten at a Nobu restaurant, or watched the 81st and 82nd Oscars, has experienced his work. He designed the original Nobu and helped expand that brand globally, shifting the look and feel of luxury dining in the process. Martha has visited many of the hundreds of restaurants David has designed, and talks to him here about about her favorites, his Tony-award winning theatrical set design work, and David's secret to creating a terrazzo ceiling.
