The Anatomy of a Welcoming Space — David Rockwell

David Rockwell is the founder and president of Rockwell Group, the acclaimed architecture and design firm helping shape how we experience space, food, theater, and culture. Whether it's redefining modern luxury dining through the design of the Nobu restaurants, or creating signature work in boutique hospitality through the W Hotels, David is a visionary for architects and storytellers across the board. In the theater realm, David has designed Broadway sets for hit shows including Hairspray and She Loves Me, winning him a Tony Award amongst several nominations in scenic design.

In this episode, David joins Charlie Melcher to explore the intersection of architecture, theater, hospitality, and storytelling. He discusses how an early love of community theater shaped his approach to design, why uncertainty is essential to the creative process, and how his team searches for the “emotional DNA” at the heart of every project.

The conversation features a live Q&A with members of the FoST Explorers Club.
