Step into a journey through time where the ancient meets the present. TIME: Sojourns in Stone and Light invites you to explore the profound influence of ancient Middle Eastern architecture on contemporary design—a legacy that transcends aesthetics to evoke a shared human heritage.

Through years of travel, photographer Carolyn Brown has captured the enduring beauty and innovation of ancient structures, illuminating how they continue to inspire and resonate with today’s architectural visions.

Her photographs reveal not only the grandeur of bygone eras but also striking parallels between ancient and modern forms. Architects and art lovers alike will discover that the past, far from being distant, remains intricately woven into the fabric of today’s architectural landscape. Here in Dallas, these visual analogies come to life, bridging cultures and centuries through stone and light.

Pick up a copy of Carolyn’s latest book featuring stunning images of ancient architecture captured over five decades of her professional career. Carolyn will be present, along with many of the celebrated essayists who contributed to the book, to sign copies and tell stories. We hope you can join us!
