Somehow, the original fantasy is maintained in the 80s makeover of the interior. More extremes - a “Ladies Room” with PoMo treatment of Art Deco that slips perfectly into Blue Velvet, Carnival of Souls and Wayne Thiebaud-“Contradiction” simply fails to describe it all.

This is the Depression Era Hollywood movie palace architecture. Spanish colonial revival of “New Spain”. The facade whips together a coat of arms, a lion head, onion domes, rosettes and more.

The Fox Theatre is a fragment of the roaring twenties’ opulence set within a seemingly endless grid of agricultural infrastructure. This taste of candy-coloured baroque amid an ambient smell of industrial-scale cow shit has a disturbing allure.

Its the conflation of extremes makes the Midwest, at times, so impactful. Out here, there is no comfort blanket for “creative types”, and it’s all the more challenging for it.

It looks like PLAIN Design Build will get the chance to work on this piece of classic piece Americana for the North Platte Community Playhouse ( AKA the Fox Theatre )in western Nebraska.

I get a little tired of the old-world dismissal of the American Midwest and the cliches of culture industry snobbery towards “flyover states”. I guess it’s the long hangover of YBA faux radicalism or just more parochial Art Basel crap.

We are thrilled to win the ACSA Design Build award for the Mizer's Ruin. This is the third time our PLAIN Design-Build organization has won this, and it represents a genuinely co-creational model for architectural education.

Architects renovating past projects may fall into deceptive nostalgia. I am very grateful to Iker Gil and Mass Context for publishing this. I also want to dedicate this to the memory of Jonathan Hill. His influence is in here somewhere. I miss him.
