Are you curious about a new building you saw the other day?
They’re going up all over Tulsa.
On April 29, the Eastern Oklahoma chapter of the American Institute of Architects will sponsor a tour featuring six structures that are becoming new Tulsa landmarks. Architects responsible for each building will be on site to answer questions and provide insight into the building process.
“Tulsa has a great history of wonderful buildings throughout the area. A lot of people don’t realize that great architecture is still being built. This is a chance for them to see these buildings up close and hear from the local architects who designed them,” said Shane Aaron, president of AIA Eastern Oklahoma.
