SAFDIE ARCHITECTS DESIGNS MONUMENTAL CHEROKEE HERITAGE CENTER IN OKLAHOMA
US studio Safdie Architects has released designs for an interconnected set of pavilions in Oklahoma, USA, to serve as a cultural campus for the Cherokee Nation.
The designs for the Cherokee Heritage Center feature a set of pavilions with walls that "evoke" layered, earthen materials rising among and above a grove of trees in the Cherokee Nation capital at Tahlequah within eastern Oklahoma….Safdie Architects is working with local studio Anishinabe Design Inc on the project, while PWP Landscape Architecture will carry out the extensive landscape that will connect the site internally and externally, foregrounding the natural assets of the land.
