Casino Design 2008

5 stories across 4 sections. Every page of the issue is live at its original address.

5 stories sit under Casino Design 2008, all of them from 2008. The longest of them is Asian Appeal.

The design moves that come back most often here are food halls and chefs (2), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. Casino Design 2008 was assembled out of Columns, COMPANY PROFILES, Departments and FEATURES, and the departments keep their own pages below. It is one of 9 annuals in the archive; the run is listed on the issue index, cover by cover. In order, the set runs Asian Appeal, Bergman Walls & Associations, YWS Architects, BLT Architects and WESTAR Architects.

Stories are listed newest first, with the issue each one ran in printed beside the headline. Nothing has been rewritten to fit the new sections: every page carries the text the magazine published, at the address it was published at, and the rubric is an index laid over the archive rather than a replacement for it. A story can therefore turn up under more than one heading — a resort tower that is an architecture story in its massing and a hospitality story in its rooms sits in both, and follows the same link either way.

Two things are worth knowing about how this part of the site is put together. The first is that a page is never generated for a heading that has nothing under it: if a rubric appears in the navigation, there is reporting behind it. The second is that the archive is closed at the far end and open at the near one — the earliest issues will not grow, while the current section keeps taking new work, so the balance between them shifts a little with every issue.
