The AT&T Performing Arts Center Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Designed by REX|OMA, with Kendall/Heaton Associates. Winner of the 2011 Institute Honor Award for Architecture. Project description: "By positioning back-of-house and front-of-house facilities above and beneath the auditorium instead of encircling it, the 80,300-square-foot, 575-seat “theater machine” extends the technologies of the fly tower and stage into the auditorium to provide an almost infinite variety of stage-audience configurations; liberates the performance hall's perimeter to allow fantasy and reality to mix when and where desired; and allows for greater interaction between artistic and administrative staff, fostering new internal collaborations."
