join the conversation
we would love to have more voices join our dialogue. take the survey!
This is the survey that seeded the content and structure of the book. We would love to include your thoughts on this site in the future.
Set designers arrive at a collaboration with questions and leave with questions. It’s not that we don’t find answers but that we are never satisfied even when answers are achieved. Questions consistently lead to more questions. Each design brings with it a process of many steps and decisions, and each decision brings more steps, thus more questions. We are on an endless quest: hunting, digging, investigating. Through the process of creating the book, the discovery is that set designers thrive in this continuum. We are “working” all the time. There was an instant joy in discovering this commonality and sharing our practice and experiences with one another.
