Ep: 075 - First Americans Museum // Johnson Fain
Listen now
Description
In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Scott Johnson and Bill Fain, founding partners of Johnson Fain. They discuss the 25-year transformation of Oklahoma City Oil Field Number One into First Americans Museum (FAM), which honors the state’s 39 tribes. The project was highly collaborative and engaging, incorporating Native American advisors to help shape the overall design approach. Conceptually, FAM is a spiral that begins in the earth and ascends to the heavens. The museum’s western arc features permanent and rotating exhibitions, and its northern arc houses theaters, retail, dining, and other services necessary in modern museums.
