For my 5th post, I decided to go back to the very first building I was ever in – the hospital I was born in. St. Francis sits on a hill at 61st and Yale in Tulsa, OK. It is unmistakable thanks to the unique architectural choices made by the designers. The way the glass reflects back onto the city gives me a sense of hope for my city. It shows that no matter what the world has to throw at you, you just have to reflect it off yourself and not let it affect you. Continue on with what is going on inside you and try to help as many people as you can. Just like they do inside the hospital.

The additions that have been made to the hospital in recent years have shown me how massive architecture projects can be when they must add on to an already existing building. It seems to be a bigger hassle to add on than it is to build from scratch. The years that it took for the additions to be completed were fun to watch, as I drove by this hospital almost every week. It gave me an appreciation for how much time and effort goes in to projects like this.
