The Museum at Prairefire

The world's largest remaining stand of tallgrass prairie is in the Flint Hills of Kansas.

"Prescribed burning", is a method to preserve and restore prairie land by setting fire to the native grass, then allowing it to regrow. While burning, there is an intense rainbow of flaming colors.

This building is a museum. It was designed to represent the flames during a prairie burn, using dichroic glass. 

I intentionally made this photograph on the opposite side of the main entrance. Just as a fire has no front or back, the building may be viewed from 360 degrees; there is no distinguishable "back" side.
