43 – George Tsypin, stage designer behind the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games and "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"

You probably don't recognize George Tsypin's name, but you're almost certainly familiar with his projects. After training as an architect in Moscow, Tsypin moved to New York to study theater design, and it's now safe to say millions upon millions of people have seen his work. He's designed stage sets for the MTV VMA's, operas, Broadway plays, and the 2014 Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony at Sochi, among many others. Tsypin's work is now captured in GEORGE TSYPIN OPERA FACTORY: Invisible City , released on October 18 by Princeton Architectural Press. We spoke about designing for theatrical and mass media performances, and how his architectural training grounds his practice. Our interview begins with Tsypin's account of working in 5Pointz , the infamous graffiti building in Long Island City. Special thanks to Princeton Architectural Press for helping coordinate the interview.
