  • Urban Design Happy Hour and Creative Workshop

    To celebrate the end of the year, we’re bringing the Urban Design Committee together for a free, in-person meeting and creative workshop! Our goal is to share the work we’re most proud of as urban design professionals and contribute to the Foundation’s K–12 workbooks, Create a Place to Belong and Build Your City Permit . We’re looking to replace generic and stock imagery with real-world examples from design professionals, and this workshop is a great opportunity to showcase your work while helping shape these educational resources. Please review the Call for Designer Contributions for ideas on what to bring, including project photos or renderings, architectural drawings, sketches, material samples, and other design tools. All submissions will be reviewed, and inclusion is not guaranteed. Planning to attend? RSVP HERE

  • Fair Park Tram Tour

    Fair Park Tram Tour

    Fair Park, a celebration of art, architecture, and industry, is a cultural and historic gem in the heart of Dallas. Join us for a motorized tour of the park while we fill you in on its amazing past and talk about its exciting future. Architecturally, Fair Park is one of the world’s largest collections of Art Deco buildings with a unique design approach that Chief Architect George Dahl described as “Texanic.” Integral to the buildings and the grounds are numerous works by renowned artists that celebrate the history and achievements of Texas during the first 100 years of independence. First established for the Dallas State Fair in 1886, Fair Park was transformed in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition. It is one of Dallas’ greatest cultural assets, hosting events year-round and exhibitions and serving as home to numerous cultural institutions. In 1986, it was recognized as a National Historic Landmark. In partnership with Fair Park First , the Dallas Architecture and Design Exchange presents hour-long lunchtime tram tours on the third Wednesday of the month at several times throughout the year. Tickets are $10 for general admission, and $5 for students and seniors. The tour begins at noon at the Parry Street entrance gate adjacent to the DART stop. Seats are limited – reserve your seat in advance. NOTE: The duration of the tour ranges from 1.5 to 2 hours. There is some walking (1/4 of a mile or less) to allow participants to get up close to some of the artwork. Please note any mobility challenges at the time of registration so that the tour route can be adjusted to accommodate all guests.
