"Architect Johnpaul Jones infused the new Smithsonian
Museum
of the Native American Indian with "the way of the people"
Johnpaul Jones, principal of Seattle-based Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape
Architects, Ltd., was the lead architect for the Smithsonian National Museum
of the American Indian, Washington, D.C. One of 100 American Indian architects
in the country, Jones helped lead a movement to diversify Seattle's architectural
and design community in the mid-1980s. He was named a fellow to the American
Institute of Architects, an honor held by less than 3 percent of his peers.
Johnpaul Jones designs with a strong commitment to the earth. His designs
win recognition for heightening our sensitivity to environmental issues and the
indigenous cultures of America, paying deep respect to regional architectural
traditions and native landscapes and connecting us to the spirit of place.
In the late 1970s, Johnpaul's architecture helped alter the direction of zoological
design by blending with the landscape and focusing on animals' health, safety,
and public education about the animals. Johnpaul's design philosophy grew
from his Native American heritage, which connects him to the natural world, animal
world, sprit world, and human world of his Choctaw/Cherokee ancestors.
His other award winning designs include: the Gorilla Habitat at Seattle's Woodland
Park Zoo, Tiger River Trail & Tree house at San Diego Zoo, Grassland Habitat
Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum, Longhouse Education & Cultural Center at
the Evergreen State College, Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, The People's Lodge,
Seattle, Icicle Creek Music Center, Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat, Leavenworth
and the Hanford Reach National Monument Visitor Center. Internet Talk Show with Johnpaul Jones
On Friday, October 7, 2005 from 12 to 1 p.m. Mr. Jones answered questions
posted via the internet. Art History Professor Linda Smeins interviewed Mr.
Jones, using the posted questions.
