A new book, released this month, takes a unique and critical look at the City of Dallas through its buildings. <\/p>\n
The book called ‘Welcome to Paradox City’ is written by Mark Lamster who is the Pulitzer-prize winning architecture critic for the Dallas Morning News.<\/p>\n
“It begins with Millermore, which is sort of the Greek Dallas mansion of the Antebellum period that sort of established what a great Dallas house would look like,” Lamster said.<\/p>\n
It moves on to other buildings such as the Texas School Book Depository, North Park Center, and Dallas City Hall which has been front and center in Dallas politics this summer. <\/p>\n
“Fountain Place, the Nasher, Hyatt Regency and Reunion Tower,” Lamster said of other buildings included in the book.<\/p>\n
Lamster says some of the material he has covered with his work at the Dallas Morning News but much of it is original work.<\/p>\n
“There’s also, in the back, a bunch of appendixes with important buildings in the city so you can kind of use it as a de facto guide book,” he said.<\/p>\n
