NEXT FORUM LECTURE
David SALMELA
Architect, Duluth
Thursday, 7 pm
10 March 2011
Magnolia Theatre, West Village
In the time of globalized design tending to the generic everywhere, architects like David Salmela must be especially valued.   His Finnish ancestry and Minnesota northlands context have nourished a carefully rich architecture of lovingly worked materials and forms.  Salmela’s small firm has won 14 Minnesota and 16 national design awards.   His work is published in many journals, including Dwell and in a dedicated monograph.

Symposium Organizer:  Kate Holliday, PhD
Symposium Committee:  Don Gatzke. AIA; Mark Gunderson, AIA; Nate Eudaly and Kate Holliday

This symposium will provide insight into the ways that African American architects and neighborhoods have helped shape the city of Dallas in the twentieth century.   Speakers in the morning session will address the role that individual practitioners like William Sidney Pittman, Texas’s first African-American architect, played in building the urban landscape in the early twentieth century.  Pittman’s Knights of Pythias Temple stands on Elm Street as a lone reminder of the prosperous professional African-American community that once occupied Deep Ellum and old North Dallas.
The afternoon session will focus on the generation of architects who came of age in Dallas after the founding of the National Organization of Minority Architects in 1971. John S. Chase, a Houston-based architect and first licensed African-American architect in Texas, was a founding member of the group.  Speakers include founding members of the Dallas Chapter of NOMA and alumni of Chase’s Dallas office, who will consider their design work in the city and the role of NOMA in their practices.

Through 1 April 2011

Organized by the Dallas chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the “KRob” is the longest-running architectural drawing competition anywhere, and is presented in conjunction with the annual Ken Roberts Lecture as a part of the Dallas Architecture Forum’s Lecture Season.  The exhibition features both winners and finalists from the 2010 competition on the DCFA gallery wall and the plasma screen television.
