Architecture

Exteriors, masterplans and the shape of the building: what a casino resort looks like before anyone walks in.

37 stories sit under Architecture, published between 2008 and 2026. They came out of 7 issues of the magazine, Casino Design 2019 carrying the most at 7. The longest of them is The Brave New World of Design and Construction: An Industry Roundtable.

The design moves that come back most often here are theming (6), led lighting (6), food halls and chefs (5) and sustainability and leed (4), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. The practices named more than once are SOSH Architects (6), Thalden Boyd Emery Architects (4), HBG Design (3) and BLT Architects (3), each with its own page in the firm directory. 11 bylines appear on them — Casino Design Magazine, William Sokolic, Marjorie Preston and Casino Style Staff — and each contributor has a page listing everything of theirs the archive holds.

The list below is the whole of it — there is no second page and nothing is held back. Each headline keeps the address it was first published at, so a link made to one of these stories years ago still lands on the story itself. The sections are an index laid over the archive, not a rewrite of it, and the counts printed beside each entry are recounted every time the site is built rather than typed in once and left to drift out of date.
