Drawing People Together

Populous is a global design firm that began with a singular focus — to draw people together around the things they love, through experiences that capture all the senses, amplifying the atmosphere of excitement and pure joy shared in human moments.

We design iconic spaces for the world’s most renowned names in sports and entertainment, from stadiums and arenas to event spaces and urban environments. Our innovations have revolutionized experiences in thousands of communities worldwide and for billions of viewers watching at home.

With our global headquarters in Kansas City and regional headquarters in London and Brisbane, our diverse team includes specialists across a range of disciplines, from architecture and interior design to branded environments, urban planning, event design and landscape architecture.

Our work transforms neighborhoods, revitalizes cities, builds relationships and connects people to the incredible and the awe-inspiring. It’s our vision for design excellence that has led Fast Company to name Populous one of the world’s 50 most innovative companies, ranking us No. 1 in architecture.

As we move forward, our commitment to enhancing the fan experience will result in venues unlike any the world has seen before, with new digital technologies creating immersive experiences that blur the boundaries between the real and the virtual. Balancing that, our dedication to sustainability will see spaces that are more accessible, adaptable and ecologically responsible, setting the stage for the next evolution in major events.
