Team Disney
Posted by Marlow Harris under Architecture, Popular Culture
Disney is not just for kids. When you visit any of the Disney theme parks or hotels, you’ll find buildings designed by some of the world’s leading architects.
Typically, theme park architecture is — well — thematic. Borrowing popular motifs from history and fairy tales, theme park buildings are designed to tell a story. At the Disney theme parks, the architects may
strive for historic authenticity and recreate historic buildings or
take a whimsical approach and exaggerate storybook images or
create subtle, abstract images.
