Oklahoma Memorial Union - Nathan Ferraro

I was walking up the steps near the theater in the union and I was caught off guard by this little gem. It's so simple that I think it's brilliant. The symmetry is aesthetically pleasing. The long vertical window makes the space seem as if the roof is 1000 feet up. The luminaire, chairs, and chest look as if they were taking from a 100 year old picture. I also find it fitting that there was a half eaten apple resting on the chest (it was a real apple). It makes the space more cozy. This small corner just invites you in. Quite, desolate, and tucked away in a stairwell, I may have found my new favorite place to study.
