BUILDING EXCITEMENT
BUILDING EXCITEMENT in Casino Design 2011. The annual roll call of finished work: the year's notable casino, hotel and entertainment projects, each credited to the architects, interior designers and builders who delivered it. 4 stories. 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.
4 stories sit under BUILDING EXCITEMENT, all of them from 2011.
Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Development (3) and Hospitality (1). BUILDING EXCITEMENT is one of 6 departments in Casino Design 2011; the others are Columns, COMPANY PROFILES, Departments, FEATURES and GGB Directory. The issue as a whole carried 7 stories, and all of them are listed on the Casino Design 2011 page. In order, the set runs Iconic and Profitable, Shooting for the Stars, Beach Party and Suite Deal.
Everything filed here is the magazine's own reporting, kept at its original address and re-laid into the current design rather than re-edited. Where a story named a practice, a budget or a room count, the figure is the one that issue printed, and it has been left as it was printed: a 2009 budget is a 2009 budget, and the value of the archive is precisely that it says what was thought at the time instead of what turned out to be true later.
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.
