Abstract: The article deals with architect Rand Elliot's Chesapeake Boathouse project in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation asked Elliott to design the building on the Oklahoma River's banks to accommodate an expanding program, the Oklahoma Association for Rowing. He sought to reinvent the typology of the boathouse, capsizing the racing shell and morphing its formal qualities onto an architectural project. It functions on two levels of iconicity, embodying what it purports to be and representing the city's pride in its restored river.
