This one is for you architecture junkies:

LECTURE
On October 5, a week from Wednesday, OKCMOA welcomes architect Jon Pickard FAIA, RIBA and his discussion "Place Purpose Form," as part of the James C. Meade Friends' Lecture Series. Pickard is Principal and Cofounder of Pickard Chilton, a firm that practices exclusively as Design Architect in collaboration with Architects of Record. The firm is located in New Haven, Connecticut, across from Yale University.

ONLY 40 SEATS LEFT!

In 2008, Devon Energy commissioned Pickard Chilton to design the company's new corporate headquarters. Upon its completion in 2012, the iconic, 50-story, 850-foot Devon Energy Headquarters will play a significant civic role in downtown Oklahoma City. As the largest private development in Oklahoma history and the tallest building in the state, Pickard's design will positively contribute to the public realm with a series of exterior and interior public spaces reuniting an underutilized site with the surrounding neighborhood and a major public park.

Oops. Apologies for the name typo in thread title. If a mod can change it to Jon, that would be wonderful. Thanks!

I think one seat will be reserved for William, since he has been documenting the construction gloriously. Hope that reservation was done and that he will go there. The only request to William is that he will have to spend some time to add captions for me. He can't deny or else.... LOL

I don't think you should be paying for the ticket. You gave them a bunch of videos on DVD discs. You did not mention of any payment from them whatsoever, so I don't think they should be charging you, sir.

This lecture mainly has to do with Stage Center from what I hear. I imagine they'll mention Devon's building as well.
