The Ten Presidents' papers

Ten past presidents of AIA Dallas — the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects — have published four short papers examining the city's case for leaving City Hall. The Save Dallas City Hall coalition hosts them.

• Are Cost Projections from the EDC Credible? (PDF)
• The Cost Gap Enigma (PDF)
• Is Dallas City Hall Inefficient and Functionally Obsolete? (PDF)
• Are Dallas City Hall & Plaza Impeding Development? (PDF)

The same group has also published an affirmative proposal — what keeping the building could look like, instead of only what leaving costs:

• Proposed masterplan: CITYSOUTH (PDF) — developing the underused land around City Hall rather than abandoning the building.
