House of Packard : Architect Record

By: Michael LepHart

"Place" is a connector, some sites speak so strongly of indi?viduals who have gone before us that we almost sense we can touch them there. Here, at this site, Packard knew his clientele, he under?stood the yearly product Everett produced and had experience with the design requirements of the business of education. Here, Packard did design a structure as human as the human beings that would use it. His amazing gift was inside at its core where he designed the heart and soul of North High School. His ar?chitecture has achieved the "spirit of a place". His unconditional gift was for others; the tens of thousands of adolescents who invest?ed their one thousand days, the myriad of career professionals who worked inside his designed spaces, and the legion of attendees who experienced events in his monumental volumes, this place can leave its influential mark upon us. Frank L. Packard, the Architect of Record, did not live to see his vision completed. He never saw how the human beings related to the grand design he had envisioned for them. Yet, the response to his architecture was immediate, achieving the coveted ti?tle ... Architectural Masterpiece.
