ABSTRACT
Rustin Park complex in Southlake, Texas, is made up of three blocks: the first
contains a water feature, the second a green space with a central fountain,
and the third houses the city hall. Rustin Park is designed to be the signature
“front door” of Southlake. However, the park seems out of proportion in rela-
tion to the height of adjacent buildings; it lacks enclosure and seems too large
a space, especially when a major event is not taking place.
