Oklahoma City Municipal Courts Building
Overview
Sculptural units—shield-like forms bisecting a word that signifies social principles (legible when viewed on-axis)—are inset within the plaza and can be inhabited by viewers/ users. This metaphoric sitework, symbolizing and articulating the individual and communal significance of the Court, engages people within a grouping of experiential spaces, integrated into the architecture and urban design of the site. Each artwork unit within the sitework represents two primal dualities—Individual/ Community and Social Values/ Social Conflicts. Constructed of galvanized steel and powder-coated aluminum with sandblasted and water-jet cut inscriptions. Dimensions: 28’W x 10’H x 32’D
