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.
