The Enterprise bridge was one of the first things developed for Star 
Trek: The Next Generation. It was initially designed by Andrew Probert, then 
finalized and built under the direction of production designer Herman 
Zimmerman. Working blueprints were drafted by set designer Les Gobrugge. 
Since our second season, set design (including Enterprise interiors) has 
been supervised by production designer Richard James, who was honored 
with an Emmy award for his art direction in ÒSins of the Father.Ó  Æ
