is it not possible to do Art Deco anymore?  THAT is Tulsa architecture....not this spanish mission/rivera crap with some FLR prairie style roofs thrown in.


Yeeks, new art deco? Sounds expensive. Besides, companies would probably accidentally demolish it thinking it was an actual art deco building.

"Prairie style roofs?" Do believe the Romans in their day came up with the idea for this roof style. Then too, right up to modern times we have examples of this roof throughout Italy and Spain. The term "Prairie style roofs" is more of a concocted term than a real style. Where do you imagine Mr. Wright got the idea? Yep, probably from the Romans or even modern Italian architecture.

If you are looking for a true Italian architecture you will be disappointed. Italian architecture while it has repetitive elements is quite similar to American architecture. A bit of this and that. It all depends on the whim of the building's builder.
