"The Academy Awards may be an evening of red carpets, haute couture gowns, and tearful speeches but, behind the scenes, interior design plays a crucial role. Since 2003, Architectural Digest,has sponsored the event's admired Greenroom, a spacious backstage retreat where superstars can relax, gather their thoughts, mingle, and perhaps refine their thank-yous.\n\n**\n\nFollowing in the footsteps of such talents as Michael S. Smith, Madeline Stuart, and Waldo Fernandez this year's Greenroom (the ceremony takes place Sunday, March 2) will be transformed by AD100 architect and designer David Rockwell, maestro of magnificent residences, hotels, restaurants, and Broadway sets. Rockwell's concept for the space is a sumptuous blending of indoors and outdoors, comprising an elegant living room setting boasting a livably luxurious scheme sprinkled with striking vintage furniture alongside a fantastical outside garden area offering additional seating.\n\nArt is included in the Greenroom's mix too, in particular a digital installation featuring a selection of Oscar-related images, all curated by Rockwell and Academy Award\u2013winning actress Susan Sarandon and displayed across 86 screens\u2014from smart TVs to tablets\u2014one for each year the Academy Awards has been presented.\n\nGo inside David Rockwell's greenroom design for the 86th Annual Academy Awards.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
