PS1200, a mixed-use development in Fort Worth, Texas, draws on two local inspirations: the old stockyards, with their rows of Quonset huts, and the Kimbell Art Museum, designed by Louis Kahn, with its series of vaulted galleries. The project, by Arkansas firm Marlon Blackwell Architects, embodies the industrial scrappiness of the former influence (the homes are clad in corrugated metal and outfitted with plywood finishes) and the heroic modernism of the latter, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and silky concrete floors. It’s also an exercise in placemaking, with its public gallery, coffee shop, restaurant and park.
