A City Evolves

Dallas has been erupting with new buildings for the last 10 years, from rapidly built banal buildings to the Pritzker Prize architecture of international architects. It is remarkable that a vignette view of the city reveals landmark buildings from many decades chronicling the personality and growth of the city. One gets the sense that over 100 years of development is just an architectural nudge for Dallas to become a massive city. So much space still in downtown and unlimited space across the river that will attract the 21st century center of Dallas. My hope is that the Dallas spirit of architectural ambition, aesthetic daring, risk taking, and creativity will win the economic race with those rushing to build and invest in Dallas. There will always be big dense cities. May Dallas continue to keep its character, good and bad, to perpetuate the personality of the city as it booms.
