Urban Park Proposal: Reinventing the Reunion Tower Experience
During the summer of 2023, I took an eight-week online class on Architecture and the City with Urban Planning Professor Dr. Stefan Al
-
Dr. Al, a prolific teacher, writer, and architect, has taught urban planning at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Virginia Tech, and other universities.
-
We read and discussed a number of readings, including The Image of a City (Lynch) and The social life of small urban spaces (Hollingsworth).
-
My final project was a report and SketchUp model to redesign Dallas Reunion Tower area into a vibrant park. Proud to receive a Top 10% assessment by Dr. Al.
Reunion Tower
Located on the west side of downtown, the giant ball serves as a staple of the Dallas skyline. Hosting light shows every night, including shows when the Mavs, Stars, Rangers, or Cowboys win, there is always something interesting on display. There is also a restaurant located at the top.
