Outré West examines the work of architects educated in Oklahoma in the 1950s and 1960s who later influenced California’s architectural landscape. The exhibition showcases projects like the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and Los Angeles’ Pavilion for Japanese Art, illustrating their imaginative and unconventional designs.
Influenced by mentors like Bruce Goff and Herb Greene, these architects embraced creativity over traditional norms. Their migration to California allowed them to apply innovative approaches to a range of architectural projects, highlighting a lasting and profound impact on the architectural heritage of the American West.
