As we commemorate this milestone, we want to say thank you and celebrate with you, the individuals across the world who fill these venues with the emotion that gives them meaning.

    Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous people are the guardians of traditions and the custodians of the lands that carry stories older than time itself. Their cultures, languages and rituals are a testament to the human capacity for creativity, adaptation and the ability to harmoniously coexist with nature. Indigenous architecture embodies principals of sustainability, community and deep respect for the natural environment. From the intricate patterns of Native American pueblos, to the innovative cooling systems of traditional African huts and the stilt houses of Southeast Asia, these designs showcase innovative solutions that have stood the test of time. As we strive to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and meaningful, let’s look to Indigenous practices for inspiration. We are proud to showcase projects such as Wiigulga Sports Complex, Te Kaha Stadium, , BMO Centre and FNB Stadium as examples of the inspiring inclusive and considered design that takes place at Populous. Let us honour this day by taking a moment to learn more about indigenous cultures, engage in meaningful conversations and deepen our understanding of the lands and communities in which we work.

    We are thrilled to announce The Crossing at East Cut was selected for an AIA California 2024 Urban Design Honor Award. https://bit.ly/3yEkuIU The Crossing at East Cut brings people together with around-the-clock activations and amenities that celebrate the community, promote active wellness and enjoy a dynamic spectrum of entertainment opportunities. The Crossing’s identity is neither a permanent or temporary installation — not long term or short term but somewhere in the middle. It is an actively changing experience, making it a whole new way to think about utilizing land and space.

    Populous is excited to announce that the Sydney Swans HQ, an adaptive reuse project at the Royal Hall of Industries, has earned a 5-Star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia. The project transformed the iconic building into a world-class training venue for the Sydney Swans AFL and AFLW teams — and a community center — while preserving its important heritage elements. Populous is honoured to be a leader in the sports sustainability movement. From the Sydney 2000 ‘Green Games’ to this project, Populous will continue to advocate for circular design, deconstructability and adaptive reuse to minimize virgin material extraction, protect biodiversity and reduce pollution.

    Populous Consulting, in collaboration with Populous' specialist Brand Activation team, has completed an extensive commercial and design feasibility study for the potential renovation of the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall of O.A.C.A. — home to the 2024 EuroLeague champions, Panathinaikos BC. Originally constructed in 1994 to host events at the 2004 Summer Olympics, the venue is Greece's largest indoor arena. The feasibility study sought to explore comprehensive renovation options that would leverage the entire site, including a spacious training hall and various activation areas, priming it for a significant transformation.

    With Paris 2024 underway, Populous Senior Principal Philip Johnson spoke to The New York Times for this piece exploring how London 2012 paved the way for the sustainable infrastructure approach adopted by the IOC. Populous designed the main stadium for London and served as the official Architectural and Overlay Design Service Provider for the 2012 Games. All six of its newly built venues, including two temporary ones that became permanent, remain in use, hosting sports, cultural, entertainment and leisure activities.
