The quality of the light in Oklahoma has been immortalized in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s ‘Oklahoma!’ – and incidentally, ‘Bright Golden Haze’, a phrase taken from the first line of the iconic musical, also functions as the recently completed Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center’s inaugural exhibition’s title.
‘As the sun appears to move from east to west, the building literally transforms,’ enthuses Elliott. ‘As it goes into the afternoon it will go from blues to oranges.’ This skin also functions as a rain screen that helps the building to self-cool, and therefore, be greener.
