OMA / REX architecture: wyly theatre opens in dallas
the dee and charles wyly theatre, dallas has opened today. the wyly theatre part of the city's new AT & T performing arts center is designed by joshua prince-ramus (partner in charge, now REX) and rem koolhaas (founder of OMA). unlike a typical theatre, the wyly accommodates back-of-house and front-of-house areas above and beneath the auditorium rather than wrapped around it, liberating its perimeter – a glass façade with optional blackout blinds – for direct contact with the urban surroundings. passers by have the chance to glimpse the action inside; the theatre itself, which seats up to 575 and can offer views of the city of dallas as a backdrop.
