PURPOSE OF ARTWORK AT LOVE FIELD TERMINAL
The Public Art Projects at Love Field will address the following goals:
- Focus on themes that support the history, legacy and purpose of the airport. Dallas Love Field is the gateway to Dallas, its art and culture, events and businesses for 7 million passengers annually making Dallas one of the top visitor destinations in Texas;
- Use Public Art to enhance the identity of the Airport;
- Contribute to the public’s positive experience of airport spaces;
- Showcase Public Art to express the vibrant culture of Dallas.
The Love Field Modernization Program will design and construct the main terminal facility and new concourse to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certified. Preference will be given to artworks that reflect this goal. Measurement for LEED certification includes the following categories that focus on human and environmental health:
- Sustainable Site Development: Focuses on the impact site selection has on ecosystems and development of sustainable communities.
- Water Efficiency: Focuses on reducing water consumption for building occupants and landscaping.
- Energy and Atmosphere: Focuses on reducing the consumption of energy and encourages the use of energy sources that are not detrimental to the environment.
- Materials and Resources: Focuses on strategies to reduce the impact that building materials have on the environment.
- Indoor Environmental Quality: Focuses on the health and comfort of building occupants. This category encourages improved indoor air quality, controllability of systems, as well as access to daylight and views.
Additionally:
- Artwork must be appropriate for public spaces, meet ADA requirements, be virtually maintenance free, durable, and meet the size, weight and other restrictions for the site where the project will be located.
