D Magazine titled “Why is Dallas architecture so bad?,” Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster revisits the question. How has Dallas progressed in the intervening years, and how might it remake itself for the better? Is Dallas architecture still so bad? We recommend reading Lamster’s answer first and then moving on to his list below of the best and worst architecture in Dallas today.
