Superbowl Keepsake Book Includes Muslim House of Worship (Ismaili Jamatkhana)

The 72-story Bank of America Plaza was designed by Rees Associates (formerly JPJ Architects) in the 1980s yet stands today as impressive and progressive as the day it was envisioned, with its clever floor plate arrangement that affords 16 corner offices, as opposed to the standard four, on each floor. In contrast to this iconic structure are equally brilliant yet decidedly smaller structures such as Hidell Associates’ Ismaili Jamatkhana, a prayer hall that makes use of symmetry, light, and shadow to create an oasis from the hurried nature of modernity; Ron Hobbs’ Allen City Hall, its limestone and glass rotunda a beacon for the community; and Urban Design Group’s Gladney Center for Adoption, designed in the warm Texas vernacular as a haven where “forever families” are created.
