Preston Olmstead

One of Paul’s most famous building that didn’t get built is the Recreation Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. This project was supposed to be built in 1947 with Ralph Twitchell. Attenuated beams and columns support and thin upturned entry canopy.  “The project seemed to have an element of fantasy and it was supposed to be built, but in time Rudolph’s visual ability became enriched by a more rigorous discipline as his knowledge of structural capabilities increased and as he refined his compositions of architecture space.” Although this building didn’t get built, it would have been a beautiful and astounding building.
