The Birthday in Houston, Texas, 1966

Architect Frank Welch built the minimalist ranch shelter on a bluff overlooking a flat expanse of land in West Texas, conjured from salvaged timber and stone quarried on site, including small stone cairns left by migrant workers known as “birthdays.” In 1997, the Texas Society of Architects gave it the 25-Year Award jointly with Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum.
