The Film

"We could think of the world as a big sculpture." With that, artist Rick Lowe turned raking up broken glass and hauling debris from a block of abandoned shotgun houses into art. As others joined in, anything seemed possible. Third Ward TX looks at how Lowe's Project Row Houses is re-shaping its Houston community, paying tribute to its past, and racing to protect its future.
