The Kimbell Art Museum is only a 30-40 min drive from Dallas…I would give up a trip to all of these buildings in order to make it to one of Kahn’s masterpieces. Bonus, Ando’s Modern Art Museum is right next door to the Kimbell.
don’t forget the new science and history museum by ricardo legorreta.
I have been to all of these buildings, and completely agree. The Kimbell is an absolute must see if you are anywhere near Forth Worth.
Can’t wait to go back once it is expanded:

I’m really surprised that REX’s and OMA’s Wyly Theater is not on this list. It is a lot more impressive than some of Pei’s work and the Thanksgiving Chapel.
it is on the list. it is bundled together with the winspear opera house, annette strauss square, and sammons park.
@kanye,fail, legorreta has the latino cultural museum, the perot museum is being done by morphosis
I am from Dallas and an architecture major (senior). Although the buildings listed above are terrific, I must agree with 123. The Kimbell is literally in EVERY textbook I own. It is a true masterpiece. Hands down the most important building in Texas.
For less touristy places, The Rachofsky House by Richard Meier is great too, but you’ll only be able to snap a pic from the outside.
Actually you can schedule tours there to see the inside:
