Texas Architecture Guide

What makes Texas architecture distinct: climate logic, regional modernism, and five city clusters beyond the metro triangle.

Texas architecture is defined by climate before style: deep roof overhangs, thermal mass, prevailing-breeze siting, rainwater discipline. The Hill Country modernism canon established by Lake|Flato is now carried by a second generation (Clayton Korte, alterstudio), while Dallas hosts the national mega-firms and Fort Worth quietly leads U.S. K-12 delivery. Beyond the triangle, El Paso's border renaissance, the Gulf Coast's hurricane-zone resilience practice, and the Marfa design geography complete the map. See the directory by city.
