5.0 out of 5 stars
For designers, directors and academics,
By Matthew Kopans (Round Lake, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Set Design (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
This book, one of the few that takes a more academic, rather than practical, view of scenic design, should be required reading for any designer (lights and costumes as well as set) as well as every director. In his designer profiles Aronson shows the reader the different processes that can be utilized to achieve a successful design. It is also one of the few books that gives the reader an opportunity to get deeper into the history of contemporary American design, as each designer is sure to mention his or her influences and teachers. Far more useful then the practical books on design in helping a young designer conceptualize, collaborate and create interesting designs. Unless you want to design in a vacuum, this book is a must read

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good For Contemporary History,
By Chad (Ithaca, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Set Design (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
I was hoping this would be something more technical. Instead, it deals more with contemporary designers' individual creative process and an overview of their work.

Seminal Resource for Theatrical Artists,
This review is from: American Set Design (Bk. 1) (Paperback)
Covering important early stage design throught the early '90s, this is immeasurably important to the understanding of how scenic elements enhance theatrical production.
