Dawson Danner, a graduate of the Master’s program at the Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture[2] (University of Oklahoma[3] [OU]), is the latest recipient of the Flex-Ability Concepts OU scholarship program.

“We cannot wait to see the spaces that Dawson develops, and to support him as he creates movement, function, and flow in all types of facilities,” said Frank Wheeler, an owner of Flex-Ability Concepts.

This is the 24th year Flex-Ability Concepts[4] has offered a scholarship to OU architectural students.

Danner is interested in creating experiences and immersive spaces, such as zoos and theme parks, saying he likes the notion of immersing someone so deeply that they forget they are in a man-made place.

While he did not know about Flex-Ability Concepts prior to the scholarship process, Danner says, “I have learned that curves are realistic and affordable, and they can be used efficiently in many designs.”

Flex-Ability Concepts was formed in 1995 for the purpose of developing the Flex-C Trac system—a flexible framing product invented by Frank Wheeler.
