Dallas, unlike most other cities like Houston, grew very quickly horizontally. There are tons of people living in Dallas County, but spread over about a 60 mile space. The thing that we are trying to do here is to build things in downtown that will suck the center of the city back into its rightful place.

[...] Arch Daily states “The new Winspear Opera House in Dallas redefines the essence of an opera house for the twenty first century, breaking down barriers to make opera more accessible for a wider audience. Responding to the Dallas climate, a generous solar canopy extends from the building, revealing below a fully glazed sixty foot high lobby. This establishes a direct relationship between inside and outside, enhancing transparency. Beneath the canopy, which forms an integral part of the environmental strategy – a shaded pedestrian plaza creates a major new public space for Dallas, defined by the masterplan for the Performing Arts District.” [...]

The landscape around the building is considered more than the building itself :P..still the building is making a statement being a giant red cylinder.

not convinced about the outside sitting space.
its too much like a little tea party with kids throwing ball around.
where as the concert hall has a very elegant and powerful image.

Just a few fact-checks: Interior is not red, it’s more of a charcoalish brown. Very attractive with the white gold balconies. Seats are covered with a gray ultrasuede fabric. The Argentinian artist responsible for the curtain is Guillermo Kuitca. Calling Sammons Park a “grand plaza” is a stretch.

The ramp that is seen on the first photograph it’s actually the entrance to the Wyly Theater, the REX/OMA designed theater. There is a street (Flora) between that ramp and the Opera House.

Frankly, that’s one giant ramp. But it’s interesting how it got turned into a feature, rather than a code necessity.
