Outré West: The American School of Architecture from Oklahoma to California considered the works of a group of architects who were educated and mentored in Oklahoma in the 1950s and 1960s, and later developed groundbreaking design practices in California. Projects like the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the fantastical Pavilion for Japanese Art on the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles demonstrated their imaginative approach to design. Through archival drawings, photographs, and ephemera, Outré West explored how these architects translated their American School education into practices that continue to enrich California’s built environment to this day.

Following the success of Capital Brutalism at the National Building Museum, the Oklahoma Contemporary Museum wanted a catalog to sell in conjunction with the Outré West exhibition. I had the privilege to design both hardcover and paperback editions for the Outré West catalog, documenting the exhibition and the featured architects in great detail. In total, 500+ copies have been successfully ordered and sold.
