Elliott + Associates turns a former 1920s car dealership into ImageNet, an innovative copy shop? and through inspired design, spins the company's tale

By David Dillon

The ImageNet copy center in Oklahoma City is a setting, a story, and a metaphor. As in several earlier projects, architect Rand Elliott, FAIA, has enlisted ordinary materials and inexpensive construction to create an engaging portrait of an innovative company. His design reveals what ImageNet does, how it does it, where it's been, and where it's going. All this is conveyed through forms and materials derived from the business itself, instead of some a priori notion of style. See the September, 2002 issue of Architectural Record for the full story.
