POPS Project Portfolio

Elliott + Associates Architects Elliott + Associates redefines an American icon on Route 66 with Arcadia, Oklahoma’s POPS. On the flowing Oklahoma prairie a little height goes a long way. A little light too, especially on deep dark nights when the only illumination comes from stars and firefies. This is a landscape with no middle distance, only near and far, where a gas station with a big sign stands out like the Eiffel Tower. 'It's so flat here, you can see for two days,' locals joke. POPS fits right in. Photo © Scott McDonald/© Hedrich Blessing Located on a long,

Jan Kaplicky, Visionary Czech Architect, Dies at 71

February 23, 2009

Architect Jan Kaplicky. Jan Kaplicky, the dour but visionary Czech architect, died January 14 in Prague of a heart attack, within hours of the birth of his daughter. He was 71 and had been dividing his time between London and the Czech Republic, where he had several major commissions. After emigrating to England in 1968, Kaplicky worked with some of Europe’s best architects, including Denys Lasdun, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Renzo Piano, the last two on the breakthrough Centre Pompidou in the mid-70s. He spent several years in Foster’s office before founding his own firm, Future Systems, in 1979.

Piano's Design for Kimbell Museum Revealed

David Dillon
November 18, 2008
No Comments

Twenty years ago, Fort Worth’s Kimbell Art Museum announced a major expansion, and promptly got stuffed by critics, architects, and the public. “Hands off Louis Kahn’s masterpiece” was the outraged response, and the Kimbell quickly abandoned the idea. Now it is back with a new $70 million scheme that is more respectful of the Kahn building and, it hopes, less politically toxic.

Dallas Revisits Its Utopian Past

David Dillon
April 7, 2008
No Comments
In 1855, a band of French socialists, many of them artists and craftsmen, established a utopian community called La Reunion in Dallas, just west of downtown. They were inspired by the writings of philosopher Charles Fourier, who had nothing helpful to say about Texas weather, Texas soil, or Texans generally. Within four years the community failed and its members scattered. Images courtesy La Reunion TX Bang Dang, of Dallas-based Cunningham Architects, won first place in the La Reunion TX competition. The design combines an old rail trestle (top) with additional walkways to link a series of artist studios and apartments

Stern to Design Bush Presidential Library

Correction appended August 31, 2007 For all the official secrecy surrounding the process, yesterday’s announcement that Robert A.M. Stern Architects has been selected to design the George W. Bush Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University (SMU), in Dallas, proved to be a no-brainer: a high-profile historicist for an institution that wants only collegiate Georgian architecture. Neo Trad for Neo-Cons. Where’s the surprise? According to a statement from the Bush Library Foundation, Stern got the job following an August 23 meeting with the president at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. “I guess he wanted to look me over and I suppose
