A city-design idea can begin with a place people need: a park, a different kind of school or another feature of daily life. Build Your City! with ADEX invites participants to develop that idea through hands-on making.
Start with what a city needs
The activity’s prompt is open-ended: participants choose a city feature to design, using craft supplies and building techniques to show their idea. A park and a new kind of school are examples, not limits; the invitation also leaves room for a different proposal.
That flexibility puts the question of use before any one prescribed design: what would help people live in a city, and what might that look like? The listing does not specify a single finished project, so participants can bring their own answer to the prompt.

A city connection is part of the setting
Klyde Warren Park offers a local example of public space shaped by infrastructure. The 5.4-acre deck park spans Woodall Rodgers Freeway, which runs below it in a recessed eight-lane corridor, and connects Uptown with the Arts District and downtown.
That makes the venue relevant to a design exercise about city life: the park itself joins parts of Dallas across a major transportation route. The event is in the park’s Lecture Hall, at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway.

A K–12 program with an all-ages invitation
AD EX presents Build Your City! as a K–12 education program and says it takes the activity to locations including Klyde Warren Park and Fair Park. For this Nov. 7 edition, the park listing describes the activity as open to all ages while specifically inviting students. The program’s K–12 framing is useful context, but the published age guidance for this session is all ages.

Getting there
Lecture Hall and directions
The event listing names the Lecture Hall at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Dallas, TX 75201, and includes a map link. It does not identify a particular building entrance or give transit routes; use the map to calculate directions from your own starting point.
Parking
The park FAQ lists valet and self-parking options. It does not say which is closest to the Lecture Hall or give rates, so check the park’s current parking information before driving. Posted signs take precedence, and illegal parking may result in a ticket.
