Populous
Populous is a global design practice specializing in creating environments that draw people and communities together for unforgettable experiences. For more than a quarter century we’ve made a difference through our comprehensive design services, including sports architecture, conference and exhibition center architecture, interior design, environmental graphics and way-finding, events planning and overlay, master planning, sustainable design consulting and facilities operations and analysis. As the world becomes more populous, and as ever-advancing technology separates us into audiences of one, our expertise becomes more relevant—whether you are at an event with more participants then you've ever dreamed of, a city looking to transform an area into a more economically and sustainable asset, or a rapidly growing urban center—our skills uniquely apply. Over the years, we’ve helped create some of the most recognizable gathering places on the planet, and some of the most storied—thanks to the passion of fans and the support of communities. We create environments that are as emotionally satisfying as they are aesthetically accomplished, but our approach to design goes beyond the built environment. We transform spaces to produce lasting economic and social returns while fostering human connection around shared passions. We use design to draw people together around teams, athletes, events, places, commerce, industry and ideas they wholeheartedly embrace and may even adore. We use the power of design to transform neighborhoods, revitalize cities, build relationships and connect people to being part of something bigger. At Populous, we believe we have a responsibility environmentally, economically and socially to make people's lives better. We capture and reflect the authentic spirit of each community we serve. We create gathering places where passions run deep, visions are shared and faith is unwavering. In essence, we create containers for emotion, fans, exhibitors, conventioneers and the collective energy of lots of passionate people. Beyond building inspiring structures, we build passionate relationships that become part of the fabric and history of each community. We are Populous.
