David Rockwell

Long before turning his attention to architecture, David Rockwell, FAIA, harbored a fascination with immersive environments. Growing up in the United States and Guadalajara, Mexico, David was a child of the theater, and was often cast in community repertory productions by his mother, a vaudeville dancer and choreographer. He has brought his passion for theater and artistic eye for the color and spectacle of Mexico to his practice. Through this unique lens, David founded Rockwell Group, a 250-person, cross-disciplinary architecture and design firm that emphasizes invention and thought leadership.
