Architect Antoine Predock died on March 2, at age 87, at his home in Albuquerque. In a 65-plus-year career, he sought to create buildings that were, as he often put it, “grounded in the earth yet soaring toward the sky.” Many were inspired by the landscapes of the American Southwest—its forms, its hues, its spiritual qualities—as well as his travels to ancient structures abroad. Although he was born in Lebanon, Missouri, on June 24, 1936—and, at one point, his Albuquerque firm had satellite offices in both Los Angeles and Taipei—he had a strong affinity for New Mexico. “He always felt the high desert had taught him how to be an architect,” recalls Paul Fehlau, managing principal of Antoine Predock Architect PC (APA). “The idea was to take those lessons out into the world.”
