From religious to secular, from private to public, from for-pro昀椀t to nonpro昀椀t,
community centers take on many forms and functions. In this issue of Texas
Architect, we explore an array of projects that all help to build community in
di昀昀erent ways. Our 昀椀rst stop is a pavilion in Austin’s Mueller neighborhood,
best known for its role as the home base of a lively and thriving farmers
market. Next, we visit a neighborhood center in Houston that marries three
public departments under one roof. We then explore a Dallas shopping
center that serves up not only sought-after retail establishments but also
engaging outdoor spaces. Our 昀椀nal destination is the new headquarters for
Austin PBS, which for decades has hosted a plethora of public programming.
