More Dallas Architecture News...
Hot on the heels of last weeks’ Dallas news post, we have a few more scattershot tidbits to pass along…
We’re big fans of Willis Winters, FAIA, around here. (Who isn’t, right?) So it was a thrill to see Willis recognized at this year’s Preservation Dallas Achievement Awards. The ceremony included a wonderful tribute film produced by Quin Mathews. Robert Wilonsky has tracked it down online and passes along this link.
Winters’ City Hall neighbors at the CityDesign Studio are celebrating these days. They received a $100,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to work on a cultural map of the city—how to build the city with specific focus on the arts and design. Here’s the release from the NEA outlining the heady company we’re keeping across the country.
Cultural mapping? There’s already some at NorthPark LEGO-style. This is your last week to go see portions of the Dallas skyline constructed of little plastic bricks.
