Biography
Predock’s design springs from his geographic surroundings,
the American West, an open desert full of history and expansive
space. The scale of his work ranges from the famed Turtle Creek
house, built in 1993 for bird enthusiasts along a prehistoric trail
in Texas, to a $285 million ballpark for the San Diego Padres that
reinvents the concept of a stadium as a “garden” rather
than a sports complex. His influence also reaches international
sites, namely the new National Palace Museum in Taiwan.
Additionally, his masterful integration of contemporary work in
historical context, a skill for which he is well-known, is apparent
in his buildings at Stanford and Rice Universities.
Physical interaction with the land plays a vital role in his design
process, and he is known for making the voices of his clients ring
clearly throughout the entire project. It has been said that
Predock’s work joins the “mind” of architecture with
the “body,” and embeds both with a sense of spirituality
that connects the land, the space, the client, and society together
seamlessly. |
