When Miró
Rivera Architects approached the renovation of the Old
Austin Theater (1939) from an adult theater into office space
for a software company, rather than obliterate any sign of
the site's previous incarnation they chose to keep one unmistakable
element, the marquee. Projecting like an alien appendage,
the blank marquee, with lights, gives the design a touch of
whimsy that would otherwise be missing.
