Blueprints at Addison Circle is a prominent public art installation located in Addison, a northern suburb within the greater Dallas area. Designed by artists Mel Chin and Michael Van Valkenburgh, this monumental steel structure is composed of a 45-foot-tall blue frame that resembles the skeletal outline of a building’s blueprint.
The artwork was commissioned to reflect themes of architecture, development, and urban planning, which are central to the identity of Addison as a planned, modern community. Surrounding the main structure are smaller sculptural elements embedded in the landscaping and sidewalks, encouraging visitors to explore the space interactively.
This site has become a recognizable landmark in the Addison Circle neighborhood, often photographed and visited during outdoor events, food festivals, and art walks. It’s a great example of how public art can reshape perceptions of space and community identity.
