You people need to travel more. Comments like this are exactly the reason everybody thinks Oklahoma is backwards.

Go to e+e+a.com and tell me what you think. Rand is the most avant-garde (google it) architect in OKC be far, and just like any designer that pushes the limits, he work is controversial. Failure to appreciate design the goes outside the box (the "box" being what most people this is "good" lighting) is a obvious sign of closed-mindedness. Why to you think that most people consider Europe=cool and America=bland? In case you never noticed, europe is full of the very things that get shot to pieces here.

Sure maybe halogen or LED would have been better, but could the renovation of a mile-long tunnel be done for 1.6 mil? You would be hard-pressed to build 1 mile of decent paved road for that much $$$. I would like to see an estimate for doing the whole think in LED. I think the difference would be shocking.

I think these comments speak for themselves. Bold design is always going to be controversial.
