In this edition of Columns, we explore the “Rise of the Crowd” because—as Thom Mayne, FAIA, says—“Architecture is the intersection between the artistic and the social.” Our cue came from an AIA report declaring that crowdfunding and crowdsourcing signal major changes in the role of users and clients in the design process.
We explore:
• Architects’ work with crowdfunding and crowdsourcing efforts
• The new face of public criticism
• Favorite DFW spaces
Also, explore places like the inspiring Cistercian Abbey, I.M. Pei’s Dallas City Hall, Fort Worth’s Casa Mañana, Deep Ellum, and Bonton Farms. Marvel at the designs from 2015 winners of the AIA Dallas Unbuilt Design Awards. Visit with Bob Borson, AIA, author of an architecture blog literally read by millions. And find out about the newly published memoir by Frank Welch, FAIA.
