The Price Tower is basically the St. Marks design taken out of the city context and placed on the prairie. He referred to his building in Oklahoma as "the tree that escaped the crowded forest." It is a nice image not only true in the vertical landscape it occupies but also because he saw the building structure like a tree: the core of the building being the 'trunk' and the floors that cantilever off the trunk as branches and leaves.
