Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture

Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture The Mission of the Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture is to promote design excellence in our physical environment through education and projects.

The Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture was created in 1999 and although a very young organization, has had tremendous success with our events, programs, and projects.

• 1200 North Robinson
The Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture purchased, secured and saved the old Church of Christ Scientist building located at 1200 N. Robinson. We were also successful in placing this building on the National Register of Historic Places.

• Celebrate 100: An Architectural Guide to Central Oklahoma
The Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture teamed with the American Institute of Architects, Central Oklahoma Chapter to publish a guide to architecture of the past 100 years in central Oklahoma.

• KIDesign
KIDesign is an annual introduction to architecture and design in the world around us. 1st through 6th grade children will participate in various activities as they learn, create, and design their own projects with members of the local architectural community.

• OKLAHOMANMADE Photography Competition
OKLAHOMANMADE is an annual event and is open to the Architects, Intern Architects, K-12 students, Oklahoma College students and members of the general public. Images must be man-made and located in Oklahoma.

What makes a building feel haunted?

Maybe it isn't the ghost.

Maybe it's the way an old staircase disappears into shadow. A window that seems to look back. A door that has been closed for a hundred years. The silence of an empty hallway.

Architecture carries the marks of time—and sometimes, those details tell a story all on their own.

Would you walk through the door?

What makes architecture feel haunted?

Maybe it’s the style.

Or maybe it’s the shadows, the empty windows, the echoing corridors- the details that make you pause and wonder what happened here before you arrived.

A building can feel unsettling without a single ghost in sight.

Sometimes it’s the architecture itself that tells the story.

Sometimes the building doesn't need a ghost.

⛪️ A View Worth Sharing!

Our OCFA Board Member Mary Frantz recently captured this beautiful church while visiting Kansas and we couldn’t resist sharing it with you!

It got us thinking… What church has your favorite architecture? Maybe it’s a grand cathedral, a tiny neighborhood church, a historic landmark, or simply a place that holds a special memory.

📸 Share your favorite church with us! Tell us the name, where it’s located, and what makes it special to you.

We’ll start with Mary’s view from Kansas. 👇
