…this work explores “faux finish” as a type of science fiction ~ where the wavy wood plank shown represents a scale or species no longer available on earth

…this idea is inspired by a scene from Chris Marker’s film La Jetée where a time traveler describes where they are from with the growth rings of a tree “…I come from here” [ points beyond the limit to a future ]

…this work also mimics a Martha Stewart craft technique ~ scaled up in this case with a custom/ sup’d up version of her “home grainer” tool.

! we are excited to share images and updates from our recently completed Historic Renovation Project for Kiefer Public Schools ~ shown here just prior to move-in.

This 30k sf facility will now house 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in the long vacant / 100+ year old school building in Kiefer, OK.

…some goals in this work were to highlight and coordinate with the historical nature of the building, update facilities, and thoughtfully reprogram space with contemporary educational amenities.

Also of note are the many large scale / environmental graphics which are derived from some special access to the KPS photo archive going back a century (or more).

We extend our gratitude to Superintendent Shaw for his trust and friendship in this important work.

! I am excited to share images and updates from “Big MOdels” ~ a solo exhibition of new work currently on view @108contemporary

-
Big MOdels is a series of five large study models (or little architectures) which mash-up representation, scale, surface, and beyond.

These works advance playful and exploratory nature of their smaller counterparts into larger-than-typical scales ~ developing special space as a result.

-
We have a special performance event in the works for the next first Friday 9/4

…and a forthcoming zine w/ design luminary Hannah Dewhirst @sub_._studio

! we are excited to share images and updates from our K12 Activity Center Project for Kiefer Public Schools ~ shown here at a cool construction moment.

This 43k sf facility will house Basketball, Indoor Football, Cheer, Band, and beyond.

…some goals in this work are to coordinate a variety of “OTS ~ Open to Structure” conditions into a cohesive aesthetic, incorporate custom environmental graphics as possible, and cultivate new spatial identities for a growing KPS school district.

!! PfJ/A Co-Founder Aaron Jones has been awarded a 2026 MacDowell Fellowship in Architecture
@macdowell1907

via MacDowell:
MacDowell believes that the arts, artists, and creative processes are of primary importance.

We strive to match the love that artists have of their work with our love of them as people. We support their vision through care, passion, and an unwavering belief in their importance to our society.

via PfJ/A:
While there, Aaron will develop some special architectures for an upcoming solo exhibition at the @okcontemporary in 2027

Aaron believes he (and his work) are best described by his mother ~ when she calls him “…an ornery little toot”

!!! We are excited to announce “The Vernon Witness Center” ~ a project for @vernonametulsa w/ major support from the @mellonfoundation

via Vernon AME:
“We believe the Historic Vernon AME Church is not merely a surviving structure, but the singular, living custodian of the Black Community’s truth regarding the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. As the only Black-owned property on Greenwood Avenue to physically withstand the aerial and ground assault, Vernon AME Church is an enduring, sacred witness.

Our Vision for “The Vernon Witness” interpretive center is rooted in the architecture itself. We are committed to honoring the materials that physically absorbed the violence, particularly the basement, which served as a sacred space of refuge - a foundation that holds the indelible truth of survival and community life.”

via PfJ/A ~ AJ:
“ …the essential idea is to support and amplify what Vernon is already doing - which is the preservation and dissemination of Vernon’s important history from Vernon’s point of view.

In The Witness Center Project - we intend to reveal and stabilize as we can the original surfaces and materials of Vernon’s historic basement space which has been covered up over time. To open the space up. We also intend to thoughtfully go back with support spaces which can sustain ongoing interpretation and outreach - such as formal archive, library, and office areas.

Our team also plans to restore and preserve the Vernon AME refuge space at the East end of the Basement - which is perhaps the most important space within the Witness Center and very meaningful for American History.” by @pfeiferjones

Imagine being able to experience one of Tulsa’s most significant examples of Art Deco architecture half a world away, in the Palazzo Mora in Venice, Italy… through an interactive suspended paper dome? Tulsa-based architecture studio @pfeiferjones is doing exactly that; through an opportunity of creative cultural exchange, it is displaying its “project in a bag” at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale.

Initially meeting back in college while studying architecture at Oklahoma State University, both moved outside the state to follow their career paths but found their way back to Tulsa about three years ago.

@_fakejones background was in this cross between the music world and the architectural design world. By building on established working relationships with a group that had exhibited previously at the Venice Biennale, Pfeifer Jones received an invitation to be a part of the exhibition this year— it was the perfect opportunity to showcase a local expression of their performance art installations on an international level.

Read the full story in LUXIERE Edition 54 or online via the link in our bio, and follow their studio at @pfeiferjones, and online at pfeiferjones.com.
