POPA creates simple forms with dynamic uses, across scales ranging from master plans to buildings, interiors, and products. Themes we actively pursue are generosity, versatility, passive climate control through siting and materials, and smart interactions of new, old, and possible. We prefer appropriate technology over only the latest. Clear and responsive designs made through collaboration are a constant goal. Casey Mack is a New York-licensed architect and the founding director of Brooklyn-based POPA. Mack graduated with a B.A. in Art History from Vassar College and an M.Arch from Columbia, afterwards working with the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Hong Kong and New York. He has taught at NYIT and Parsons, and is currently a visiting assistant professor at Pratt.
