Today's DC Extra in the
Post profiles Paul Devrouax and Marshall Purnell, the local architects who are partnering with
HOK Sport to design the
new Nationals stadium. From the article: "HOK Sport has more than 300 employees and is internationally renowned for its stadiums and arenas. It is relying on Devrouax & Purnell, which has about 30 employees, to complement its expertise by providing an intimate knowledge of the city. [...] The involvement of Devrouax and Purnell in the ballpark is important for another reason: As black architects in a white-dominated field, the duo has been working for decades to put their stamp on the city." And, since I know you're wondering, there's still no date announced for when the design will be unveiled.
