Context/Contrast

About

Living in one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, we’ve seen our fair share of construction sites. The Dallas Center for Architecture presents a new exhibit examining just how well new buildings do (or do not) attempt to be a part of a city’s larger historical context. The exhibit opened in NYC and featured three of the Big Apple’s neighborhoods, but for its stay here in Dallas, a special section about our city has been added. Examine local historic preservation ordinances and the buildings you can find in the DCFA’s Main Street Walking Tour, all for free.
