Designing the Architectural Digest Greenroom at the Primetime Emmy~® Awards was a gratifying yet challenging process for AD 100's Timothy Corrigan this year. The room serves as both a serene gathering place for celebrity presenters waiting to make their appearance onstage at the Shrine Auditorium for the September 16 telecast, and a viewing room where TV's top talents will watch the proceedings on state-of-the-art Sharp AQUOS LCD TVs.rnCorrigan was also commissioned to support the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' environmental efforts with a greenroom that is ecoconscious. Taking his style inspiration from an English country living room, he is deftly pairing the old (18th-century antiques) with the new (cuttingedge technology from Sharp and late 20th-century artworks). Ecological choices include walls paneled in wood reclaimed from a local high school football stadium as well as fabrics woven from 100% natural fibers. The choice of Sharp AQUOS flat screen televisions fits the bill in a myriad of ways: the advanced technology of LCD TVs means the highest quality image possible, the streamlined design blendsrnperfectly with the room's elegant decor, and Sharp's Super Green Strategy shows a level of environmental consciousness befitting a "green" greenroom on television's biggest night.
