é Kudos to Darren James and the team at KAI Enterprises for its design of the new Reby Cary Youth Public Library in Fort Worth. With its activity stations, bright colors, interactive art installation and cozy cubbies, its purposeful design serves children, teens, and their caregivers, as well as honors the late Fort Worth civil rights pioneer and educator who spent his life dedicated to learning as well as breaking down racial divides. KAI was also named Firm of the Year by the Dallas chapter of the AIA.
