One can only speculate as to what helped Mr. Predock transition.

University of WY Art Museum - Laramie

The Museum's website.



Perhaps he's still there, but in the mid-'90s when I held a regional exhibit of art by architects, Antoine Predock had his offices in Albuquerque. His buildings at that time were easily ignorable; they looked like bunkers. Below is his United Blood Services building.

Knowing he was probably too busy to bother with the application process, but with a gnawing suspicion he might enjoy being included, I went to his office to invite him to participate. As we stood discussing the project, he pulled a sheet of paper from a nearby printer and, using a felt-tip pen, drew an image similar to the one below (see more here). It sold, for $300.00, before the show even opened, to a University of New Mexico student of architecture.

You can imagine my astonishment at discovering the University of Wyoming Art Museum was designed by the same man.
