When Star Trek: Picard brought back the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, it marked one of the most emotionally resonant moments in the franchise's recent history. Behind it was a meticulous process of research, reconstruction, and craft — and this book tells that story from the inside.

​

In this definitive insider account, it chronicles how the art department assembled every surviving detail of the original set, then worked alongside master craftspeople and Star Trek luminaries to rebuild the Enterprise-D bridge with exacting fidelity. The result is an exhaustively researched volume packed with hundreds of rare photographs, original concept art, and production blueprints — the complete record of how a beloved piece of television history was brought back to life, told by the person who built it.

With forewords by showrunner Terry Matalas and production designer Dave Blass, and an afterword by original TNG production designer Herman Zimmerman.
