Houston’s Landmark Inspired by Performing Arts

The Lynn Wyatt Square for the Performing Arts is a new cultural venue and landmark in Downtown Houston’s Theater District. Formerly known as Jones Plaza, RIOS’ design transforms the plaza as a hub for a more interconnected, accessible, and inclusive green space in Downtown Houston, providing a vibrant green heart for Houstonians and visitors to experience and celebrate the arts through year-round public programming such as music, theater, dance, and opera, operated by Houston First Corporation.

The natural environment of Houston — known for its bayous, wetlands, and lush greenery — informed the transformative design vision for the site. Once a relatively inaccessible concrete heat island atop a vital parking structure, the plaza has been reimagined into a lush green park and made accessible, activating the space for urban life and discovery.
