A first-of-its-kind history, Welcome to Paradox City offers a unique history of Dallas through its most significant buildings.
Through an exceptional blend of architectural history, social history and critical writing, Dallas Morning News contributor Mark Lamster takes readers from the sun-scorched origins of Dallas as a remote outpost on the Texas frontier, and traces its development into the dynamic, if imperfect, metropolis we know today. Engaging and thoughtful, Welcome to Paradox City is an astonishing and illuminating look at the often-invisible ways that architecture is more than just a building, or a skyline. It is something that shapes a city and its culture from its founding, to the present, and onward into the future.
Mark Lamster is the architecture critic of the Dallas Morning News, a Loeb Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and the author of The Man In the Glass House, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography.
