We are the Storytellers of Houston
In the Fall 2025 DOMEafterDOME capstone project, nineteen University of Houston architecture students reimagined the historic Astrodome not as a stagnant political relic, but as a site for 21st-century innovation. Supported by Amazon and The BASE Lab, the project challenged students to transform the “Eighth Wonder of the World” from an obsolete engineering marvel into a sustainable, functional landmark for the city’s future.
In a city famously void of traditional zoning, Greater Houston’s HOAs have evolved into a powerful de facto local government, managing everything from neighborhood aesthetics to critical flood infrastructure. As we navigate the legislative shifts of 2026, understanding the new “Digital Sunlight” laws is no longer optional, it is the key to protecting your property value and your rights in the nation’s most sprawling suburban landscape.
