In the words of Italian architect Renzo Piano, the designer behind The Shard in London, Dallas' own Nasher Sculpture Center and the Renzo Piano Pavilion at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum, “One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting over again.” The space through which we move undeniably influences our psyches — the houses we build, both literally and figuratively, becoming reflections of our aesthetics, values and choices. At briggsfreeman.com/architecture, learn all about architecture styles, including what makes each one unique and why they work in Texas.
