I am from Tulsa and the BOK Center is one of the buildings that I have always been interested in since the time that it has been built.  Recently, Tulsa has been working on some more modern projects like The Gathering Place and One Technology Center but before these projects, much of downtown Tulsa is built in the Art Deco style.  The BOK Center was different than anything that I had ever seen at that point and actually made me interested in architecture. The most interesting feature to me was the shape of the exterior of the building that uses stainless steel and glass to create a circular swirling shape.  It is also important to me because I have good memories of the times that I have visited the BOK Center. Some of my favorite memories from visiting this building include the march madness and OKC Thunder basketball games that I would go see with my dad when I was younger. While I have good memories at this building the main reason it is important to me is because of the influence it had on me towards architecture.
