Depth, Reflection, and Transparency

The school of architecture at OU promoted Frank Lloyd Wright’s work and his organic architectural philosophy. This project by Loftis is a clear homage to Wright’s principles and design motifs. The close relationship between building and nature, horizontal architectural elements, ornament integrated into the structure, the use of new and natural materials are all features of his “organic” approach. In this project the student proposed a wooden awning and a reinforced concrete building dealing with water and elevated flower beds used as architectural volumes. A series of windows makes the building permeable to sunlight.
