Welcome to Popularform — a personal project, creative journal, and evolving archive created by architects Jacqueline Beckingham and Barry Hughes. As partners in life and design, our work spans decades, continents, and disciplines, reflecting a shared curiosity and independent spirit.
We began our professional journeys in Dallas, with sojourns in Hong Kong, New York, and London, eventually finding home and studios in Los Angeles. Throughout our journey we have been privileged to work with many great teammates, amazing collaborators and visionary clients. This website presents a curated reflection of our personal journey and contributions to various projects. While individual team members are not named, We gratefully acknowledge the invaluable input and expertise of all those involved.
Popularform is a site to gather and reflect on the breadth of projects we've been involved in — both together and apart — across architecture, urban planning, digital design, and creative research.
Nearly all the work you’ll find on this site was developed within the framework of architectural practice — on real-world projects for paying clients — yet driven by a relentless curiosity to explore what these tools could become. That duality between client-facing rigor and design-led discovery is a thread that runs through everything we’ve created, from early renderings to interactive narratives.
Popularform now serves as a digital archive — a place to revisit the formative moments of our design lives, to celebrate both collaboration and independence, and to share a record of our evolution as architects and designers navigating a rapidly changing technological landscape.
This site is not only about nostalgia — it’s a living document, a reminder of the value of experimentation, the rewards of taking chances, and the joy of making things together.
