HOK is no more

We don't have HOK to kick around anymore. No, they didn't go out of business. They just changed their name:

HOK Sport Venue Event is no longer.

The Kansas City-based sports architecture giant, now a stand-alone company, officially has changed its name to Populous.

“Populous allows us to enthusiastically embrace the expertise we uniquely claim — drawing people together, “ Joe Spear, a senior partner, said in a statement released today.

HOK Sport, now Populous, announced in August it was buying its independence from St. Louis-based HOK Group, and the transaction was completed Dec. 31. The firm was begun in 1983 when a group of architects approached HOK about establishing a sports-focused architectural office in Kansas City.

While I don't like the name itself, I do sort of like the idea of using adjectives for nouns. Going forward I will only answer to the name "Dashing Calcaterra."

At least now they have an actual name instead of a series of letters. Good to see progress!

Funny, Dashing, I was just thinking earlier today of the various ways one could screw up your last name.

Alcantara, Calcutta, Caligula, Calamari, Etcetera, etc.

Kind of reminds me of Frank Costanza’s Festivus on Seinfield.
