Oklahoma City Air Terminal, Main Floor Level

College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma

These three drawings by Gene Williams are taken from a set of 7 sheets on tracing paper. The assignment challenged students to “design an air terminal for Oklahoma City which would be adequate to serve present requirements, and which would be flexible enough to permit an independent expansion of all functions of the air terminal.” Everything in this design proposal recalls the movement and the circles drawn by airplane propellers. The functional requirements are organized into a three-level system of operation represented in the three plans selected for the exhibition. The main floor level is the ticket and check-in area where the passengers move to and from airplanes at a level just above ground level. Four oval lounges characterize this level.

College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma

In 1952 nine students moved to OU from Kansas State University including John Hurtig, Norman Froelich, and Jim Gardner who became some of the best students in the design studio classes. Froelich designed these two elevations for a Mortuary and Chapel for the Arch 274 course, that was the continuation of Arch 273 during the second semester.
The drawings show student’s skills and astonishing technique. They were included in 1956-1957 Annual Publication of the National Association of Students of Architecture in cooperation with the American Institute of Architects

College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma

Jim Gardner designed this abstract composition of symmetrical architectural volumes in asymmetrical arrangement as an assignment for the Arch 273 class taught by Bruce Goff. Gardner demonstrated the ability of an outstanding draftsman, creating truly original designs. The presentation board is still framed with a black cardboard prepared to display the drawing for the exhibitions organized at the School of Architecture.
Some years after their graduation, John Hurtig, Norman Froelich and Jim Gardner opened an office together in Pueblo, Colorado.

After Goff’s departure the school maintained its efforts to promote individual creativity.
This drawing by Henderson represents an oneiric building proposal that explores in depth the concept of transparency through the use of colors. Henderson became an instructor at OU and is now a Professor Emeritus of Architecture. He is the author of Bruce Goff: Architecture of Discipline in Freedom, a book published by University of Oklahoma Press.

Residence, Nigerian President, Ibadan

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 22:01:51 +0000

College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma

Although Frank Lloyd Wright’s theories on organic architecture were promoted at OU, the students were free to explore other architectural approaches. OU student Ebun Faturoti, who became a famous architect in Nigeria, designed a proposed house for the New President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, established a few years before. The project is a well-balanced composition of volumes inspired by International Style motifs rather than organic architecture principles. The design solution consists of a series of structures and buildings. A ceremonial hall, that is the main building of the complex, is arranged between two courts in the middle of the composition.
