The Architecture of Craig Hamilton at Old Parkland, Dallas

A three-volume set illustrating the trilogy of projects that Craig Hamilton has designed at Old Parkland, Dallas - an office building, a bell tower and a complete city block. Rich in architectural and sculptural symbolism, his work there is considered some of the most significant classical architecture in the US in recent decades.

These three volumes describe and illustrate the trilogy of projects that Craig Hamilton has designed at Old Parkland, Dallas, an office campus developed by Crow Holdings. The architecture and sculpture, together with the spaces between buildings, aim to create a working environment inspired by the humanist ideas of the Renaissance. Hamilton's work there comprises an office building and a bell tower or Campanile on the existing West Campus, together with the entirely new East Campus which occupies a complete city block and comprises of extensive new office accommodation, an orangery restaurant and a small theatre. All three projects are rich in architectural and sculptural symbolism. Hamilton's understanding and deep respect for both the wider western and American classical traditions of architecture have been a source of inspiration for the work that has been undertaken at Old Parkland. The volumes include over 150 hand drawings by Craig Hamilton; sketches, models and sculpture by Professor Alexander Stoddart, Sculptor in Ordinary to HM The King in Scotland; photography by Paul Highnam; words by Clive Aslet, visiting professor of Architecture at the University of Cambridge.
