The Art Guild travels for the second time (last visit in 2004) to Dallas-Fort Worth. These north Texas cities were recently named #5 and #10 respectively in a “Top Ten U.S. Art Cities” list. The architecture here perhaps rivals that of Chicago. Contemporary architects who have contributed to the beauty of both Dallas and Fort Worth are Britain’s Norman Foster, Japan’s Tadao Ando, Mexico’s Ricardo Legorreta, Rem Koolhaas from the Netherlands, Italy’s Renzo Piano and America’s Philip Johnson, I.M. Pei, Richard Meier and Louis Kahn. Ando, Johnson, Koolhaas, Pei and Piano are recipients of architecture’s highest honor, the Pritzker. Highlights are:
