Discovery in Variety

Still doesnt look like Crossfield to me.. definitely looks like BLE at the end though.
Avatar has the advantage of being not as far into the future, based around a small outpost working with whatever is simple and small enough to move tediously slowly between star systems, limiting how "shiny" it can look. Plus the workplaces are a backdrop to ground the more fantastical elements. With Star Trek, they're focused on as part of the fantastic element we're meant to be wowed by (Well maybe more in later series).
They wanted boring human everyday stuff so it had to look like it worked. Star Trek just wants shiny cool looking things, Discovery is annoyingly still going with that but hopefully it'll be drowned out by focusing on the characters.
Whether or not I agree with you on that, that's not what I called bullcrap on.
No it didn't. And NO we didn't.
Yup, they're timeless. Look at his production art.
The show will get nominated for awards for production design, guaranteed. BTW, someone should've told youthe way sets are lit tend to be differnet from when they are shot for the screen and for a photo session. Remind me not to ask you about production design opinions.

I appreciate your zeal, so much so that you have decided to plant your flag in this thread and gush over the production design in post after post, but at the end of the day this is merely your opinion. When it comes to suggesting awards as above, I'd say you are taking your personal opinion and spinning it way out of proportion. These designs may look "expensive" (other than the misaligned shingles in the transproter room) but they are simultaneously gaudy and generic. It just doesn't...gel as a unified work of art, even if you disregard canon violations. If they get an award it's just a sign of how colorblind Hollywood has become.
They might get an award for the sarcophagus ship, which, if you stop worrying about canon, is nice. But even there, it's ripping off HR Giger.
Yes, my personal opinion. I have an art background, a technical one and have been following production design since I was a kid. So, yes I'm using my own knowledge to predict a ADG award..and yes, I don't care that much about Canon, especially since this is a reimagining.

How can you tell? That is incredibly dark. I hope that is a half-power shot, or else I'll be squinting the whole time trying to make out what is going on.
It looks more like the Enterprise-E bridge than anything from "The Cage".
Same designer - Scott Chambliss. Surprise!
I just don't see it.
You just need a shot of uncritical boosterism.
It's ok guys.. You're allowed to deviate from your old script when presented with new information.I just don't see it.
I need something I guess. Because little about the show has wowed me to this point.
I agree that this looks really cool! The angular and somewhat minimal design match the exterior of the ship perfectly.

Cold and sterile. Looks like a operation room with ugly mood lighting. And that chair looks really uncomfortable.
