Today, we begin our series of interviews with the four architects who designed the Wyly Theatre and the Winspear Opera House. First up is Joshua Prince-Ramus, who co-designed the Wyly Theatre. Next week: Prince-Ramus’ former mentor Rem Koolhaas on Dallas architecture (“very bland”) and the courage of Dallas donors in building the Wyly, plus Norman Foster and Spencer de Grey on the Winspear.
