September 24 to November 9. Righting an urban wrong. Reconnecting Uptown and Downtown. Creating a new front lawn for Dallas. These things and more have all been said about the soon-to- be completed Klyde Warren Park over Woodall Rodgers Freeway. In celebration of the late October opening of the park, the Dallas Center for Architecture presents this exhibition examining the park’s genesis and construction, its event programming plans, and its place in the context of other parks in Dallas and across the country. KLYDE WARREN PARK: BRIDGING THE GAP takes a look at Klyde Warren Park from the very beginning. With a major grant from The Real Estate Council in 2004, planning began for a deck park covering a portion of Woodall Rodgers Freeway and eliminating a perceived barrier between the uptown and downtown neighborhoods. Funds were raised from both the public and private sectors to build the $110 million project. The construction project itself involved complicated design and engineering factors—from providing appropriate ventilation to the tunnel below the park to the use of “designer dirt” used to lower the load on the deck itself. The exhibition is free and open to the public Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Extended hours are on Thursday evenings until 8:00 p.m. The Dallas Center for Architecture is located at 1909 Woodall Rodgers Freeway (between Harwood and St. Paul). dallascfa.com |
