Baylor Scott & White Health Administrative Center, Commercial Category
The Baylor Scott & White Health Administrative Center is at the forefront of the emerging “groundscaper” trend. Groundscapers are defined as buildings that are as wide as skyscrapers are tall. By alleviating the need for an elevator ride, groundscrapers keep people appropriately distanced, as well as more active.Singing Hills Recreation Center, Civic, Cultural, and Public Art Category
The Singing Hills Recreation Center is a multi-generational, community-focused facility in a historically underserved neighborhood, connected to a commuter rail station. The new center serves as a platform for social interaction where human activities — recreation, community, education — intersect. Perkins&Will's design team created a facility that mimics the natural landscape in an abstracted way. By trimming the underbrush and lower limbs of the densely treed area, a space for human activity to take place among nature was revealed.The Pittman Hotel, Retail, Mixed Use, and Hospitality Category/Adaptive Re-Use, Preservations, and Non-Residential Restoration Category
Built in 1916, The Knights of Pythias Temple was Dallas’ first major commercial building designed, financed, and built by the Black community and was their business center and social hub throughout the early 1900s. Decades of urban upheaval and social change left the building vacant and at risk of becoming part of the erasure of the city’s cultural memory. The building’s renovation and addition mark the culmination of a slow comeback for the entire Deep Ellum neighborhood and the establishment of its first hotel, reconnecting the historic structure to the urban patchwork of the district.Fair Park Master Plan, Landscape, Urban Design, Public Space, Master Plan Category
Fair Park is a National Historic Landmark that used to be full of life and energy, but over time has become overlooked and undervalued. The park has many different parts including the Music Hall, State Fairgrounds, and Convention Center, and its infrastructure needs to hold large crowds and manage massive flows of people. Perkins&Will is designing a master plan that will nurture growth and function as a part of the Dallas parks network.
