Deep in the art of Texas: From 'branded vistas' to the 'iconodigital skies' of John Outram, architecture in Texas represents both energy and nothingness

Article Abstract:

Architecture in Texas reflects the ability of Texans to spend huge energy on their cities, build skyscrapers, support museums and orchestras, although not to live in them. The Wright house, once part of the prairie, now sits amid a suburb. Louis Kahn's Fort Worth Kimbell Museum has formal US architecture, with the interior providing gravity, grace and equity of light. In San Antonio, Emilio Ambasz's Halsall Conservatory is a virtual temple to nothingness, and John Outram's Rice University Engineering Building is an ideal represented on a site honored by removal from the real.
