DESIGN PARADIGM

DESIGN PARADIGM in Casino Design 2010. Design thinking at the level of the idea: the organising principle behind a floor plan, a facade or a guest journey, argued rather than illustrated. The rest of the issue follows below. Sections are the magazine's own: each annual was assembled out of departments that recurred from year to year, and the pages are kept at the addresses the issue gave them.

5 stories sit under DESIGN PARADIGM, all of them from 2010. The longest of them is MGM Maestro.

Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Architecture (3), Hospitality (1) and Gaming Floor (1). DESIGN PARADIGM is one of 7 departments in Casino Design 2010; the others are Building Excitement 2011, COMPANY PROFILES, FEATURES, FINE ART and PUBLISHER'S LETTER, among others. The issue as a whole carried 5 stories, and all of them are listed on the Casino Design 2010 page. In order, the set runs MGM Maestro, Crowning Achievement?, Power Trio, A Better Bubble and Art for Art's Sake.

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.

The counts on this page are read off the archive at build time, not maintained by hand, which is why they are odd numbers rather than round ones. The same goes for the themes and practices listed above: they come from reading the text of the stories, so a firm appears because a writer named it in a sentence, not because someone attached a label afterwards. That makes the lists shorter than a tag cloud would be, and more reliable.
