Description

Step into the vibrant world of 1980s New York City nightlife as we explore the revolutionary design and cultural impact of iconic clubs like Studio 54 and Infinity. From innovative lighting techniques and theatrical elements to the way these spaces shaped community and identity, this episode uncovers how nightclubs became more than just venues for dancing - they were transformative spaces that influenced residential design and provided sanctuary for marginalized groups. Featuring fascinating interviews with club owners, designers, and scene insiders, including Lee Soulja's incredible story of sneaking into Studio 54 as a teenager, we examine how these spaces used design elements like neon lighting, moving architecture, and dramatic spatial effects to create unforgettable experiences.
