Antoine PredockFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antoine Predock (born 1936 in Lebanon, Missouri) is an

American architect based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Antoine Predock is the Principal of Antoine Predock

Architect PC. The studio was established in 1967. Predock

attended the University of New Mexico and later received his

Bachelor of Architecture from Columbia University.

Predock first gained national attention with the La Luz

community in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Nelson Fine

Arts Center at Arizona State University was his first

nationally won design competition. Mr. Predock's work

includes the Turtle Creek House, built in 1993 for bird

enthusiasts along a prehistoric trail in Texas, the Tang

Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, and

a new Ballpark for the San Diego Padres. He has also worked

on international sites such as the National Palace Museum

Southern Branch in Southern Taiwan and the Canadian

Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba, both of

which are currently in design phases.

In 1985, Antoine Predock was awarded the Rome Prize. In

2006, he won the AIA Gold Medal. In 2007, Predock was

awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Cooper-

Hewitt National Design Museum.[1] In 2010, Predock was

named a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council.[2]

Predock's design has been highly influenced by his

connection to New Mexico.[citation needed]

Petco ParkFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petco Park is an open-air ballpark in downtown San

Diego, California, USA. It opened in 2004, replacing

Qualcomm Stadium as the home park of Major League

Baseball's San Diego Padres. Before then, the Padres

shared Qualcomm Stadium with the NFL's San Diego

Chargers. The stadium is named after the animal and pet

supplies retailer Petco, which is based in San Diego and

paid for the naming rights.

The ballpark is located between 7th and 10th Avenues,

south of J Street. The southern side of the stadium is

bounded by San Diego Trolley light rail tracks along the

north side of Harbor Drive (which serve the adjacent San

Diego Convention Center). The portion of K Street

between 7th and 10th is now closed to automobiles and

serves as a pedestrian promenade along the back of the left

and center field outfield seating (and also provides access

to the "Park at the Park" behind center field). Two of the

stadium's outfield entrance areas are located at K Street's

intersections with 7th and 10th Avenues. The main

entrance, behind home plate, is at the south end of Park

Boulevard (at Imperial) and faces the San Diego Trolley

12th & Imperial Transit Center.

The ballpark was

constructed by San

Diego Ballpark

Builders, a

partnership with

Clark Construction,

Nielsen Dillingham

and Douglas E.

Barnhart, Inc. The

construction cost of

over $450 million

was partially funded

by the Center City Development Corporation and the San

Diego Redevelopment Agency. The stadium was intended

to be part of a comprehensive plan to revitalize San Diego's

aging downtown, particularly the East Village area.[4] The

stadium is located across Harbor Drive from the San Diego

Convention Center, and its main entrance behind home

plate is located two blocks from the downtown terminal of

the San Diego Trolley light rail system.

The ballpark was originally scheduled to open for the 2002 season; however, construction was temporarily

suspended for legal and political reasons. One portion of this was a court decision which nullified a ballot

proposition which had already been passed (approving the city's portion of the stadium financing package), and

required that the proposition be put to the voters a second time. Another delay resulted from the Western Metal

Supply Co. building being declared a historic landmark, which prevented its demolition. After court hearings, it

was determined that its landmark status only applies to the exterior facade, as it was supported entirely by

panoramic photographs of the early San Diego skyline, and the building was renovated and included in the

stadium design in an example of adaptive reuse.

The resulting delays required the Padres to play the 2002 and 2003 seasons at Qualcomm Stadium.

Events and milestones

The first baseball game ever played at Petco Park, on March 11, 2004, was the first game of a four-team NCAA

invitational tournament hosted by San Diego State University. The San Diego State Aztecs baseball team, of

which retired Padres player Tony Gwynn was the head coach, defeated Houston. It was the largest attendance

for a game in college baseball history.[5]

On April 8, 2004, The San Diego Padres played their first regular season game and defeated the San Francisco

Giants 4-3 in 10 innings.

April 15, 2004 Mark Loretta hit the first Padre home run off of Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was

caught by Mike Hill, a bartender at the Kansas City Barbecue.

The stadium's first concert came on November 11, 2005, when it hosted The Rolling Stones.

On March 18 and 20, 2006, the ballpark hosted the semi-finals and finals of the first World Baseball Classic. It

also hosted second-round games of the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

Photo taken at the 22-inning game.

On April 4, 2006, Petco Park had its first rainout, postponing an evening game against the San Francisco

Giants.[6]

In February 2007, Petco Park became the new host of the USA Sevens, a rugby union sevens event within the

IRB Sevens World Series. Previous editions of the USA Sevens had been held at The Home Depot Center in the

Los Angeles suburb of Carson.

On August 4, 2007, Barry Bonds hit his 755th home run to tie Hank Aaron's record.

On April 17, 2008, the Padres and Rockies played in a 22-inning game,

the longest game in Petco Park history. The Rockies won the game by a

score of 2–1. It was the longest MLB game in nearly 15 years.

On November 4, 2008, Madonna performed her Sticky and Sweet Tour

at Petco Park. This marked the first time in 23 years that Madonna

brought a tour to San Diego since The Virgin Tour in 1985. 35,743 fans

were present.

On July 2, 2009, the MLB experienced its first game to be

delayed/halted by a swarm of bees at Petco Park in a game between the

Padres and the Houston Astros. A small swarm of honeybees took up

residence around a chair in left field, causing the game to be delayed by fifty-two minutes. A beekeeper was

called in and the swarm was exterminated.[7]

On May 31, 2010 the Padres scored a season high and broke a Petco Park record for runs scored in a whole

game with 18 runs to defeat the New York Mets on a final score of 18 to 6. Jerry Hairston hit a 2nd inning

Grand Slam to start the offence for the Padres. The winning pitcher was Kevin Correia, who had not won a

game since April.

On June 14, 2010, during a Toronto Blue Jays vs. San Diego Padres game, there was a magnitude-5.7

earthquake, which was centered about 85 miles (137 km) east of San Diego. Play stopped momentarily in the

eighth inning. The Blue Jays went on to win 6-3.

Rain delays led to the suspension of the Padres' game with the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 8, 2011. The first

delay caused the game to start 28 minutes late. Play was then stopped for over 90 minutes in the second inning,

and again in the sixth inning for over one hour. The score was tied at 2-2 in the top of the 9th when play was

finally suspended at 1:40 a.m. PDT April 9 after a fourth rain delay. The game was finished later on April 9,

with the Dodgers winning in 11 innings, 4-2.[8]

Season 11 auditions for the juggernaut reality-television program American Idol were held at Petco Park on

Friday, July 8, 2011.[9]

PETA protest

During the construction of the stadium, the Padres offered fans the

chance to purchase bricks outside of the concourse and to dedicate

them.

Soon after this, PETA attempted to purchase a brick to protest Petco's

treatment of animals (PETA and Petco have a long-standing dispute over

this matter), but the first two attempts were denied. Undeterred, PETA

succeeded on its third attempt by purchasing a brick which read "Break

Open Your Cold Ones Toast The Padres Enjoy This Champion

Organization." When one reads the first letter of each word, it forms an

acrostic which reads "BOYCOTT PETCO." The Padres decided to leave

the brick there, saying not enough people walking by would notice the

secret meaning.[10]

Comic-Con International

During Comic-Con International 2010, Petco Park was the venue for the

TV.com NOW Awards.

The interior of Petco Park with the San

Diego skyline (and ongoing downtown

construction) in background.

PETCO Park, as seen from 1000 feet

overhead

A view from a nearby building shows

the "Park at the Park" (right) beyond

the outfield fences.

Petco Park differentiates itself from many other Major League ballparks

built in the same era by eschewing "retro"-style red brick and green

seats. The stadium is clad in Indian sandstone and stucco; its exposed

steel is painted white and the 42,445 fixed seats are dark blue. The

design is meant to evoke the sandy color of San Diego cliffs and

beaches, the blue of the ocean, and the white sails of boats on the nearby

bay.[citation needed]

Architects HOK Sport and Antoine Predock's design pulled restaurants,

administrative offices and other amenities away from the seating bowl

itself into other buildings surrounding the bowl. As a result, the ballpark's

concourses are open not only to the playing field but also to the

surrounding city. Unlike many outdoor ballparks, in which the batter

faces northeast, at Petco the batter faces due north, and fans in the

grandstands are treated to a view of San Diego Bay and the San Diego

skyline beyond the left field seats, as well as a view of Balboa Park,

which contains the San Diego Zoo, beyond center field. The San Diego

Union-Tribune honored the ballpark in 2006 with an Orchid award for

its design.[11]

The official address of Petco Park is 19 Tony Gwynn Way, in honor of

the eight-time National League batting champion who wore that uniform

number during his entire major league career with the Padres. A 10-foot

(3.0 m) statue of Gwynn was unveiled on the stadium grounds on July

21, 2007.

The "Park at the Park", a grassy

berm sloping above the outfield fence, is open during game time,

allowing fans to sit and watch games for a small price of $5. When no

games are being played, the Park at the Park serves as a free local park

for area residents. An unusual feature that Petco Park has is the home

team bullpen is located behind the left-center field wall while the bullpen

for the visiting is in foul territory on the first base side.

A 30-by-53-foot (9 m × 16 m) LED video board from Daktronics,

dubbed FriarVision, offers high-resolution replays and graphics, even in

direct sunlight.[12] Atop FriarVision in the left-field stands is a 34-by-

80-foot (10 m × 24 m) Matrix scoreboard displaying animation and cheer

graphics, lineups, stats, and game information. Along the upper

concourses are LED fascia video boards showing animation and

graphics. The one along the first-base side is 3 by 236 feet (1 m × 72 m) while the third-base side is 3 by 252

feet (1 m × 77 m).

The Western Metal Building as seen

during a game.

The Western Metal Supply Co. building, a hundred-year old brick

structure that had been scheduled for demolition to make way for Petco

Park, was saved and incorporated into the design of the ballpark. The

building was renovated and contains the team store, private suites, a

restaurant and rooftop seating. The southeast corner of the building

serves as the left field foul pole, and is protected by a strip of bright

yellow angle iron.

Fans in concession stands, in bars, restaurants or wandering the stands

can watch the action on 244 high-definition TV monitors and an

additional 500 standard-definition TVs. More than 500 computer-

controlled speakers throughout the park deliver the sound as a

"distributed signal," eliminating the audio delay from a central bank of

speakers, such as the system at Qualcomm Stadium. Four stationary cameras, one roving camera and use of six

Cox-TV cameras provide videos for the park's screens.

Petco Park has been described as being an "extreme pitcher's park". During the 2005-06 offseason, Padres CEO

Sandy Alderson adjusted the dimensions in right-center field in an attempt to make it more hitter friendly.[13] At

the end of the 2008 season, Petco Park ranked 29th in hits and 30th out of 30 in home runs per Major League

ballpark.[14][15]

Every time the Padres hit a home run, a foghorn is sounded and fireworks are shot off in center field. The

foghorn is a recording of the horn of the Navy's USS Ronald Reagan, a nuclear aircraft carrier that is ported in

San Diego.[16]

There are a total of 5,000 club seats and 58 luxury suites at the ballpark.

Albuquerque MuseumFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Albuquerque Museum is located in Albuquerque, New

Mexico in Old Town Albuquerque dedicated to preserving the

art of the American Southwest and the history of

Albuquerque and the Middle Rio Grande Valley of New

Mexico. The museum also contributes significantly to the

cultural and educational programs in the city of Albuquerque.

The museum features art of the Southwest and its global

influences, as well as 400 years of Albuquerque history with

permanent installations and special exhibitions of national

and interenational origin.[1]

The museum was first opened as the Museum of Albuquerque

in 1967 and located in the Albuquerque International

Sunport. The collection outgrew the available space in the

terminal, and the current location was built in 1979. The

building was designed by Antoine Predock and was

significantly expanded in 2005.

The museum's permanent exhibits are dedicated to art in New Mexico, and the history of Albuquerque include

early maps, conquistador armor, weavings, and other artifacts of colonial life in New Mexico. The museum also

hosts changing exhibits, a massive photo archive, art galleries, and maintains an outdoor sculpture garden on the

grounds.

Casa San Ysidro

The Albuquerque Museum also operates tours for a late 18th century house in Corrales, New Mexico called

Casa San Ysidro. The house features a recreation of a 19th century rancho, including a family chapel, a central

plazuela and an enclosed corral area.

CLA BuildingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Classroom,

Laboratory &

Administration

Building

commonly

known simply as

the CLA

Building is a

building on the

campus of the

California State

Polytechnic

University,

Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona). Designed by Albuquerque, New

Mexico-based architect Antoine Predock in the Futurist style

and completed in 1992, it has come to be the defining image

of the university.[1]

Its pointed, triangular and open top makes it the most distinct

tower on the university campus. According to Predock,

"inevitably, human settlement alters the landscape.

Successive habitation has altered the Pomona Valley from the

original dry swept earth of Rancho San Jose. Now the verdant

Arabian horse ranch of W.K. Kellogg coexists with the

technological, superscale freeway interchange.".[1] Due to

the Cal Poly Pomona's proximity to the Los Angeles district

of Hollywood, the building has been displayed on films such

as Gattaca, Impostor, as well as several TV commercials for

products such as cars and cell phones.[2]

The CLA building sits directly above the San Jose Hills fault

and has the second-highest seismic "risk score" of 72.94, in

the California State University system, after a building at CSU East Bay. It suffered no structural damage as a

result of the July 29, 2008 Chino Hills earthquake, a magnitude 5.4. It has leaked water since it was completed

in 1993, and connections and beams at the building do not meet California earthquake safety standards. It needs

so much work that university officials are contemplating tearing it down.[3]

McNamara Alumni Center (both trapezoidal structure and

office building building on its left). The new TCF Bank

Stadium is rising in the background, only a block away from

the site of the former stadium. The photo also shows the

associated park in the foreground, as well as the more recently

constructed Alumni Wall of Honor, which echoes the design

of the Alumni Center. The new expansion would extend from

the left side of the "boulder".

The entry of Memorial

Stadium, which previously sat

on the site, is used as the

entrance to the Heritage

Gallery.

McNamara Alumni CenterFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The McNamara Alumni Center, also known as the

Gateway Building, at the University of Minnesota's

Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota is

one of the more architecturally-unique buildings in

the area. Minneapolis-based Mortenson

Construction began the 230,000-square-foot (21,000

m2) complex in March 1998 and completed

construction in February 2000.[1] The building is on

University property, but is owned by the University

of Minnesota Gateway Corporation, made up of the

Alumni Association, U of M Foundation and

Medical Foundation.[2]

Overview

Located at the intersection of University Avenue

and Oak Street SE, the landmark building resides on

land formerly home to Memorial Stadium. In fact,

the interior of the building features an arch that was once an entrance to the stadium. Outside, there is a small

water pool and fountain, although it is not in operation for most of the year because of the region's climate. The

building opened in February 2000 and is named for Richard McNamara, a 1956 alumnus of the university and

former football player.

University officials chose architect Antoine Predock in 1996 to design the

structure.[3] KKE Architects of Minneapolis served as the project's executive

architect and general manager. The university held a ceremonial groundbreaking

for the complex during November 1997.[4]

The building contains two main components: office space and a public reception

area. About 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) of copper clads the rectangular

portion where university offices are located, including those of the University of

Minnesota Alumni Association.[5] Granite supported by 500 steel beams forms

an asymmetrical geode-styled area of the building featuring an interior public

Memorial Hall, 85-foot (26 m) tall.[5] Some 2,200 rose-colored granite blocks

weighing up to 1,000 pounds each form the geode's exterior. The structure

required 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of granite.[5]

Six-story, 85-foot Memorial Hall.

Inside the hall, a series of balconies and a stairway joining the fourth

and fifth floors extend from the office section into the reception

area. The open expanse of the Memorial Hall's interior is partially

sheathed with the same copper as the exterior in addition to six

miles (10 km) of hemlock planks.[6]

Some 900 events annually are held in the center's public spaces,

including the expansive Memorial Hall, the Heritage Gallery, or in

conference and meeting rooms, according to the Minneapolis Star

Tribune. The rock band Incubus used the Memorial Hall during the

taping of its music videotrack "Drive", which was nominated for an

MTV Video Music Award.

The rental demand for special event spaces at the center and growth in operations of the University of

Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Medical Foundation, both housed in the center, prompted the

University of Minnesota Board of Regents to approve a $9.7 million addition. The addition, designed by

Predock, included office and event space as well as an expanded restaurant.[7] Construction began in 2009 to

coincide with the opening of the adjacent TCF Bank Stadium. The University of Minnesota Gateway

Corporation paid for the addition.[2][8] The addition was completed in 2010 and created an additional 4,500

square feet (420 m2) of total space. This additional space also allowed for improved traffic flow in the building,

reducing foot traffic in the middle of events, specifically in Memorial Hall [9]

In addition, the building is used to host pregame festivities prior to each home football game. [10]

The building was criticized for many reasons when it was being built. Automobile parking has always been in

short supply on campus, and a park area next to the building took away a campus lot. A new parking ramp was

constructed nearby to help alleviate this problem.

The Flint RiverQuarium is a 54,000 sq ft (5,000 m2)

aquarium opened in 2004 and located on the banks of the

Flint River in Albany, Georgia, United States.

The aquarium follows the journey of the Flint River, and

highlights the ecosystems of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee

and Flint River basins.[4]

Features

The Flint RiverQuarium features both freshwater and

saltwater river ecosystem of Southwest Georgia as well as the

world.

Blue Hole Spring is an open-air, 175,000-US-gallon

(660,000 l), 22 ft (6.7 m) deep tank filled by a natural spring

below. It exhibits the diverse life forms of the Flint River,

which runs through Southwest Georgia.[4]

The Flint River Gallery includes both freshwater and saltwater fish, and includes a live fish hatchery. In this

exhibit, visitors can follow the 350-mile (560 km) journey of the Flint River to the ocean.[5]

Discovery Caverns includes interactive displays and an underground cave exhibiting subterranean creatures.

The World of Water shows visitors other rivers around the world that share features and challenges with the

Flint.

Spring Run Creek is home to the aquarium's alligators.

Cypress Pond Aviary is a 35-foot (11 m) high enclosure featuring birds indigenous to the Flint River basin, as

well as several migratory birds that pass through the area. Although the first inhabitants of this exhibit are

commercially available birds such as quail and ducks, the RiverQuarium is working with various groups to

obtain non-releasable birds native to the area.[6]

The Adventure Center is across the plaza from the RiverQuarium, and is designed to house traveling exhibits at

the Aquarium.

Imagination Theater is the facility's IMAX theater and often shows 3D versions of the movies.[7]

Architecture

The RiverQuarium was designed by architect Antoine Predock in association with Executive Architect Robbins

Bell Kreher, and was completed in 2004. Predock was "inspired by the biology, geology and hydrology of

Southwest Georgia" in creating this facility.[1]

The facility is part of the Downtown Albany RiverFront Master

Plan. Located on the banks of the Flint River at Pine Avenue and Front Street, it received the American Institute

of Architects (AIA) award in 2005. [2]

It is one of the city's projects to reconnect the downtown to the river and

a walkway along its banks.

The building wraps around the primary exhibit, which is the 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) naturally landscaped

Blue Hole and Cypress Creek. The building is designed to allude to the "complex Ocala limestone terrain of

sinks, aquifers, caves and streams that exist below the surface."[1] The Exhibits were designed by

Lyons/Zaremba Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts
