Casino
Architecture and design work under the Casino topic, covering gaming buildings and the wider spaces where play, leisure and public life converge.
A casino is a building type defined by gaming, entertainment and hospitality, and its architecture has long combined spectacle, controlled circulation and the staging of chance. Designers working on casinos must balance the needs of security and revenue with the experience of visitors, often using light, sightlines and material choice to shape mood and pacing.
Member work under this topic looks at the casino as one part of a larger urban and landscape system, including adaptive reuse of existing structures, island and waterfront sites, and projects that bring cultural or residential programmes alongside entertainment. The projects range from speculative and academic proposals to built hotels and public venues.
