Art and the built landscape in the central business district of Dallas: Influences from an identifiable era in the late twentieth century.
Moffat, Lara.

Art and the built landscape in the central business district of Dallas: Influences from an identifiable era in the late twentieth century. - 93 p.

Adviser: Pat D. Taylor.

Thesis (M.L.A.)--The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008.

In the mid to late 1970s, Dallas' emergence as a center of culture and art became outwardly evident in the urban landscape. International and local designers were commissioned to make their mark on the gridded environment; Dallas City Hall was the first major development during this period. Internationally acclaimed architect I.M. Pei's inverted pyramidal structure and ceremonial plaza were soon followed by Carpenter Park with its noteworthy environmental art piece 'Portal Park Slice' by Robert Irwin.

520 $a In the mid to late 1970s, Dallas' emergence as a center of culture and art became outwardly evident in the urban landscape. International and local designers were commissioned to make their mark on the gridded environment; Dallas City Hall was the first major development during this period. Internationally acclaimed architect I.M. Pei's inverted pyramidal structure and ceremonial plaza were soon followed by Carpenter Park with its noteworthy environmental art piece 'Portal Park Slice' by Robert Irwin.
520 $a Significant human communities typically have a collection of spaces that are both private and public, mostly privately funded but publicly used. In the sites' development a group of financiers, developers, designers, artists and in some cases, city officials and individual citizens outlined the usage by defining the purpose and function of the site in order to aesthetically achieve their means. Behind this collaboration, amass a series of stories; narratives that explain the who, why and what in the development of each project. In this paper, historical backgrounds are presented making the user aware of the inner makings of these urban spaces.
520 $a This study revealed the collaborations of the individuals involved in the development of the sites and the specifics behind the projects. Publications from both the defined era and present provided vital recorded facts. Site inventories confirmed inclusion of art and offered photographic documentation.
520 $a Through the use of research methodology, literature review, artists' comments and critics' response, this research details how eight selected built landscapes within the Central Business District (CBD) of Dallas that include art as a significant feature were a direct result of the construction boom in the later part of the twentieth century.
