thanks brian!

here i am on the cynical, hypocritical and un-american trump executive order mandating classical federal architecture. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

always good to be on the cover! www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

icymi, here’s what happens when you take the farnsworth house and the glass house and mush them together. like chockolate and peanut butter, two great tastes that taste great together. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

what happens when you combine mies’s @edithfarnsworth house and philip johnson’s @PJGlassHouse using steel recycled from a dying mall? this: www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

the @DallasMuseumArt has a new director. brian ferisso arrives from portland, and will now be tasked with getting the museum’s expansion by nieto sobejano built. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

listicle time! following up on my story on amazing st. stephen of mesquite, here are my 15 (+1) favorite sacred buildings in/around dallas. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

how one of the most radical churches, in architecture and politics, wound up in a dallas suburb. the story ot st. stephen of mesquite, part ronchamp, part pueblo, from the most inventive archittecture firm you’ve probably never heard of. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

i have no baseline issue with tall buildings but i certanly never said anything like this baloney. "Lamster and practicing architects all rightly agree that taller buildings allow for better architectural shapes and superior design.” www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

LATEST: never thought i’d be arguing to preserve this architectural peaen to reaganomics but…https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/architecture/2025/07/28/i-wrote-a-book-on-philip-johnson-his-dallas-skyscraper-does-not-need-a-tacked-on-garage/

beyond thoughts and minds: wrote a bit about what it means to build a memorial in these times, and the challenges communities and architects in central texas will face as they begin to think about this process. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

breaking news: the @dallasmuseumart has a new landscape architect: @fieldoperations joins the expansion design team led by @nietosobejano. field ops replaces swa on the team. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

looking for interesting arch recommendations in/around dartmouth/hanover (aside from the hood). ty!

i’m sure i’ve done a lot of forgetting, but off the top of my head…

okc: worst unis and heneral identity to win a title.

for the love of god resilience not resiliency.

yeah but it is a complete travesty they gutted its predecessor. my kingdom for a disembodied voice talking abpoit pegmatitic fluids while i sit in a darkened conversation pit.

very exciting: our @dallasnews plan to reimagine dealey plaza, designed by @stoss and @mdpl, will be exhibited at this year’s chicago architecture biennial, curated by @florencia. interactives.dallasnews.com/2022/designe...

my latest on dallas logic, or the city’s persistent and insistent efforts to shoot itself in the foot. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

hey architecture bskyverse: any one have an address for paul krueger’s mark house in truro/cape cod?

how to make downtown dallas more safe: hint, the real problem is cars, not criminals. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

The inimitable @mlamster.bsky.social writes about all the things Dallas could do with $3 billion other than redo its convention center: fix its sidewalks, plant trees, build 10,000 units of affordable housing AND possibly even cover federal cuts to arts funding. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

got heart like john starks got heart like josh hart

here i am on dallas’ plan to spend $3b on a new convention center. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

Excellent news! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/a...

OMG YESSSSSS!

will dallas ever get it together and restore flw’s deteriorated kalita humphreys theater? not any time soon, writes @RobertWilonsky. sigh. www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

an appreciation (of sorts) of richard meier’s rachofsky house, arguably the most prominent modern residence in dallas, now up for sale. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

sad to hear about the passing oof former boston globe archiyecture critic robert campbell. a great writer. was always a pleasure and learning experience to speak with him. rip.

will put sections of twain’s “that awful german language” against this but unequivocally genius. and now for another cortado.

architecture above the fold, leading the @dallasnews.com home page.

could historically dysfunctional dallas become a national model for urban planning? amazingly, yes. (but things could still inspire a budding kafka.) www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

disney-fied theme park or pedestrian friendly place of reverence? here i am on the $550m transformation of the alamo. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

the future of paul rudolph’s bass house unclear as family sells off art collection. a blow to preservationists who hoped to keep the house intact. one of the america’s most significant modern homes. deeply concerning. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

most people don’t know that before joining the pistons cade cunningham played councilman jeremy jamm in parks & rec.

congratulations and look for ard to reading.

Incredible
