Horchow Auditorium at the Dallas Museum of Art

  

The Dallas Architecture Forum, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing public education about architecture, design and the urban environment, concludes its 2018-2019 lecture season on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, with architects Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown, Co-founders of  TsAO & McKOWN Architects.

Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown are internationally acclaimed architects and designers, whose projects range in scale from a 20 acre/six million-square-foot urban development to the design of a lipstick case, and from residential and office towers in Manhattan and Asia to rural retreats and private residences for high-profile clients. Their work can be found in New York City and across the United States, as well as in China, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, and Japan. Highly honored, recognitions include The American Academy in Rome, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award presented by President Obama, and induction in the Interior Design Hall of Fame and Architectural Digest AD 100

Partners Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown have led the firm through a diverse range of projects across the disciplines of planning, architecture, interiors, and product/furniture design. From the outset their practice has been both local to its home base, New York City, as well as international, starting with an apartment tower on the outskirts of Shanghai, and subsequently in Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, and other cities in China, as well as the US, where they have designed residential and office towers in Manhattan to the partners’ own rural retreat, a tiny 1850’s farmstead renovation in upstate New York. Recent work includes a residential and community center for retired Buddhist monks in Bhutan, a campus expansion and new headquarters for the Sunbrella textile company in North Carolina, and a two hundred unit residential development in Suzhou, China that is anchored (physically and programmatically) by a ‘life-long-learning’ campus and by an East/West healthcare/wellness complex - plus hotels designed in conjunction with the two centers.

In 2009 Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown were both honored at the White House for receiving a Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum National Design Award. They are both Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, and their work has been honored with retrospective exhibits at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Syracuse University, and Parsons The New School for Design. Calvin Tsao currently serves on the Board of The American Academy in Rome and the Architectural League of New York, for which he is a former president. He has lectured and taught at numerous universities in the U.S. and abroad.  Zack McKown serves on the Board of Directors of the Design Trust for Public Space, a non-profit dedicated to improving public space in New York City, and on the board of Scenic Hudson, a non-profit instrumental in preserving and restoring the Hudson River Valley.

Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown are internationally acclaimed architects and designers, whose projects range in scale from a 20 acre/six million-square-foot urban development to the design of a lipstick case, and from residential and office towers in Manhattan and Asia to rural retreats and private residences for high-profile clients. Their work can be found in New York City and across the United States, as well as in China, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, and Japan. Highly honored, recognitions include The American Academy in Rome, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award presented by President Obama, and induction in the Interior Design Hall of Fame and Architectural Digest AD 100

Partners Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown have led the firm through a diverse range of projects across the disciplines of planning, architecture, interiors, and product/furniture design. From the outset their practice has been both local to its home base, New York City, as well as international, starting with an apartment tower on the outskirts of Shanghai, and subsequently in Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, and other cities in China, as well as the US, where they have designed residential and office towers in Manhattan to the partners’ own rural retreat, a tiny 1850’s farmstead renovation in upstate New York. Recent work includes a residential and community center for retired Buddhist monks in Bhutan, a campus expansion and new headquarters for the Sunbrella textile company in North Carolina, and a two hundred unit residential development in Suzhou, China that is anchored (physically and programmatically) by a ‘life-long-learning’ campus and by an East/West healthcare/wellness complex - plus hotels designed in conjunction with the two centers.

In 2009 Calvin Tsao and Zack McKown were both honored at the White House for receiving a Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum National Design Award. They are both Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, and their work has been honored with retrospective exhibits at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Syracuse University, and Parsons The New School for Design. Calvin Tsao currently serves on the Board of The American Academy in Rome and the Architectural League of New York, for which he is a former president. He has lectured and taught at numerous universities in the U.S. and abroad.  Zack McKown serves on the Board of Directors of the Design Trust for Public Space, a non-profit dedicated to improving public space in New York City, and on the board of Scenic Hudson, a non-profit instrumental in preserving and restoring the Hudson River Valley.

TsAO & McKOWN has built its practice on a distinctive way of thinking rather than a trademark style. Mindful of the shortcomings of many architectural “interventions,” they approach a project as the occasion to put global experience in the service of local cultures and contexts. Technology meets traditional methods of fabrication. The design of each unique project informs the next, building a knowledge base that helps free the firm from conventional understandings.

Advocate, provocateur, broker -- the role of Mr. Tsao and Mr. McKown may vary, depending on the situation. Their inspiration resides not in the grandiose and the monumental but in larger existential questions, and in focused observations of the sensual, the tactile, the unexpected: favorite streets in favorite cities, a remembered stairway, a room glimpsed in passing, seen through an open door. The spatial becomes a means to the spiritual. Urban plans, private homes, office complexes, museums, interiors, furniture, bathtubs, table settings, lipstick. The big and the small are equally compelling. The firm’s backgrounds, interests, and idiosyncrasies converge in the life in the studio. They seem to have shed the capacity to distinguish between what’s serious and what’s fun. The serious business of architecture is fun in their experience. The fun stuff, like their annual “Pie Day,” they take seriously.

Calvin Tsao

Calvin Tsao’s work draws from a lively engagement with a variety of art forms, including theater direction - which he studied and practiced while an undergraduate at Berkeley University.  He has served as guest critic and lectured at universities internationally, and taught at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, The Cooper Union, Syracuse University and Parsons The New School. He currently serves on the Boards of The American Academy in Rome and the Architectural League of New York, of which he is a former president. In 2009 Calvin Tsao (along with partner Zack McKown) was honored at the White House for receiving a Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum National Design Award.  Other recognitions include induction as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the Museum of Chinese in America’s Legacy Award.

Zack McKOWN

Zack McKown’s approaches to design are greatly influenced by his life-long interests in psychology and the social sciences.  His work, and collaborations with partner Calvin Tsao, have been recognized for contributions across the fields of urban design, architecture, and interior design, as well as furniture and product design. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Design Trust for Public Space, a non-profit dedicated to improving public space in New York City, and on the board of Scenic Hudson, a non-profit instrumental in preserving and restoring the Hudson River Valley, including through innovative urban planning initiatives in the region’s economically challenged cities. McKown is also a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and received the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum National Design Award (along with his partner Calvin Tsao).  He has served as a guest critic and lectured widely, and has been honored, along with Tsao, by retrospective exhibits of the firm's work at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Syracuse University, and Parsons The New School for Design.

Thomas Woltz

The Dallas Architecture Forum is pleased to continue its 2018-2019 lecture season with acclaimed landscape architect Thomas Woltz, principal and owner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects (NBW) based in Charlottesville, Virginia and New York City.

Over the past two decades of practice, Thomas Woltz has forged a body of work that integrates the beauty and function of built forms with an understanding of complex biological systems and restoration ecology. NBW projects have created models of biodiversity and sustainable agriculture within areas to reclaim damaged ecological infrastructure and create working farmland, that has yielded hundreds of acres of reconstructed wetlands, reforested land, native meadows and flourishing wildlife habitat.

Presently, Thomas and NBW are designing major public parks across the United States, Canada and New Zealand. These projects include Memorial Park in Houston, Hudson Yards in New York City, NoMA Green in Washington DC, Cornwall Park in Auckland, the Aga Khan Garden in Alberta, Canada, and three parks in Nashville, including Centennial Park. Other significant projects by the firm include landscape designs for The Rothko Chapel in Houston, historic sites Olana and Monticello, and Guggenheim Venice.

Woltz was educated at the University of Virginia in architecture, landscape architecture, fine art and architectural history. In 2011, he was invested into the American Society of Landscape Architects Council of Fellows, among the highest honors in his profession, and in 2013 was named Design Innovator of the Year by the Wall Street Journal magazine. Fast Company recently named Woltz one of the most creative people in business for 2017. His firm’s work has been recognized with more than 90 national and international awards and has been published widely.

In the founding tradition of landscape architecture NBW is committed to aesthetic and environmental excellence, social commitment and innovation. The firm has been instrumental in steering landscape architecture towards integrated, ecologically performative design, relying on science-based methodology and collaboration with a wide range of systems-experts. It has dramatically expanded the traditional role of landscape architecture into the areas of restoration ecology, urban planning, civil engineering, and agriculture. In the past two years NBW has been entrusted with the design of significant public parks and cultural institutions in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, placing 30 years of design innovation in greater service to the public realm. These projects include Hudson Yards Public Square and Garden, The Rothko Chapel, The Peabody Essex Museum, Olana, and the Omega Institute.

Firm Philosophy

NBW creates resilient landscapes by artfully combining eco-technologies, aesthetics, and the imbedded histories of a site. They understand that resilient landscape architecture design succeeds when it is based on a process of research, ecologic performance, beauty, and an authentic engagement with the client and stakeholders. They employ an iterative process of information gathering and design to arrive at the essence of a landscape; which then leads to the expression of the profound narratives inherent in a place. Clear and consistent communication with the Client Group and with sub-consultants is likewise key to a project’s efficiency and success. NBW uses this process to guide the client toward the common goal of design excellence and ecological stewardship.

About the Frank Welch Memorial Lecture  
 
Frank Welch was a long-time friend and member of The Dallas Architecture Forum. The Forum was fortunate to have events at many of the residences that he designed. The highlight of each event was when Frank would give brief remarks about the project to the attendees. He was always gracious, insightful, and humble, and his presence made the event memorable for all who were there.

Frank Welch’s legacy will continue through his work, including The Birthday project, which inspired the design aesthetic of a new generation of Texas design professionals. The architects that Frank Welch mentored and the lives he touched are lasting tributes to his vision and humanity. 

Frank Welch’s family has designated The Dallas Architecture Forum as one of the charities to which memorial donations in his honor can be made. Donations will be used to fund the annual Frank Welch Memorial Lecture.

The Dallas Architecture Forum is pleased to continue its 2018-2019 lecture season with acclaimed architect Thomas Phifer, Founding Principal of Thomas Phifer and Partners in New York City. Among his many esteemed design projects are the Klyde Warren Park Pavilion and Savor Restaurant in Dallas, the Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University, the Corning Museum of Glass, and the just-opened Pavilions for the Glenstone Foundation in Potomac, Maryland. Phifer was also the Design Architect for the team that completed the Rachofsky House, a Dallas icon of architecture and art.

Thomas Phifer is widely admired for buildings that relate poetically to both the natural and human ecologies of their sites; that employ advanced technologies and modes of construction to create the appropriate architectural forms, spaces, and effects; and that transform their communities by suggesting the sublime.

Phifer employs deceptive simplicity in a variety of building types, ranging from corporate headquarters and university buildings, to residences and buildings for art. His firm has designed notable public and private buildings across the United States. Among these are an ambitious new building and 164-acre campus for the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh; restoration and revitalization of the historic Castle Clinton at the Battery, a Lower Manhattan Federal Monument for which Phifer created a radical new addition for performing arts presentations; The United States Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, which brings challenging new architecture to the city’s historic district; and a number of high-profile, private residential commissions. Thomas Phifer and Partners was chosen by the Mayor’s Office of New York City to redesign the streetlights of the city.

Thomas Phifer and Partners has received three Design Excellence awards from the General Services Administration and more than 20 honor awards from the American Institute of Architects, as well as numerous national and international citations. His projects have been published and exhibited extensively in the United States and overseas. A monograph on the work of Thomas Phifer and Partners was released in 2010 by Skira Rizzoli.

Thomas Phifer is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He has received the prestigious Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome and was awarded the Medal of Honor from the New York Chapter of the AIA. In 2011, he was elected as an Academician of the National Academy of Design, and in 2013, he received the Arts and Letters Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Tuesday, 7:00 pm

Horchow Auditorium, DMA

Forum Reception and check-in 6:15 pm

Thomas Phifer approaches modernism from a humanistic standpoint, connecting the built environment to the natural world with a heightened sense of openness and community spirit that is based on a collaborative, interdisciplinary process.

Since founding Thomas Phifer and Partners in 1997, he has completed the recently opened Pavilions for the Glenstone Foundation in Potomac, Maryland; an expansion of the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York; the United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah; the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina; the Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion at Rice University in Houston, Texas; Cine Colombia headquarters in Bogotá, Colombia; an environmentally advanced corporate office building for Steelcase, Inc. in Grand Rapids, Michigan; the restoration of the historic Gilfillan House in Austin, Texas; the Rachofsky House in Dallas, Texas, now a public trust and private house museum affiliated with the Dallas Museum of Art, and numerous houses in the Hudson River Valley of New York State.

Ongoing projects include the Museum of Modern Art and TR Warszawa Theatre in Warsaw, Poland, an outdoor performance pavilion in Austin, Texas and several private residences.

Prior to launching his firm in 1997, Phifer was  design  partner  with  the  firm  of Richard Meier & Partners, New York, where he was responsible for the design of 27 major projects. Among these were the acclaimed Canal Plus Headquarters in Paris. Earlier in his career, Phifer was a senior design associate for Gwathmey Siegel and Associates, New York, and practiced with Wolf Associates Architects in North Carolina.

Thomas Phifer and Partners has received three Design Excellence awards from the General Services Administration and more than 20 honor awards from the American Institute of Architects, as well as numerous national and international citations. His projects have been published and exhibited extensively in the United States and overseas. A monograph on the work of Thomas Phifer and Partners was released in 2010 by Skira Rizzoli.

Thomas Phifer is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He has received the prestigious Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome which honored him with a residency at the Academy’s renowned campus on the Janiculum Hill. During that period, Phifer explored ways to draw the lessons of antiquity—enduring concepts for architecture that are ecologically enlightened, relevant to time and place, animated and dignified—into a 21st-century building language that now characterizes his practice. The influence of this investigation is present in his current work, including the North Carolina Museum of Art and reconfigured campus, where landscape and architecture intermingle to create a place of relevance and purpose.

Thomas Phifer was awarded the Medal of Honor from the New York Chapter of the AIA. In 2011, he was elected as an Academician of the National Academy of Design, and in 2013, he received the Arts and Letters Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Phifer has been honored by the New York Chapter of the AIA with the President’s Award and by Sir John Soane’s Museum Foundation. He also gave the 2016 keynote lecture at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London.

Thomas Phifer has served as a visiting professor at numerous architecture schools, including the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Cooper Union, University of Southern California, University of Texas, and Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. He is currently appointed as the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor of Architectural Design at the Yale School of Architecture.

The Dallas Architecture Forum's members include architects, design professionals, students and educators, and a broad range of civic-minded individuals and companies intent to improve the urban environment in North Texas.  The Forum has been recognized nationally with an AIA Collaboration Achievement Award for its strategic partnerships with other organizations focused on architecture, urban planning and the arts.  For more information on The Forum, visit www.DallasArchitectureForum.org. 

Among the over 230 speakers who have addressed The Forum’s Lecture Series are Shigeru Ban, Brad Cloepfil, Diller + Scofidio, Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves, Daniel Libeskind, Thomas Phifer, Rafael Vinoly, Juhani Pallasmaa,  AIA Gold Medal Winner Peter Bohlin, and regional architects David Lake and Ted Flato.  Pritzker Prize winners speaking to The Forum have been Kazuyo Sejima, Rafael Moneo, Thom Mayne, Rem Koolhaas and Norman Foster (the latter two in collaboration with the ATT Performing Arts Center). Other speakers for The Forum have been leading designers Calvin Tsao, Andrée Putman, and Karim Rashid; landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh; and National Trust President Emeritus Richard Moe.  Important critics, authors and patrons who have spoken to The Forum include Emily Pulitzer, Terence Riley, Pulitzer Prize winners Robert Campbell and Blair Kamin, Aaron Betsky, and the late David Dillon.

The Forum organizes and presents an annual series of Panels—local, informal, open, and offered free of charge as a public service to the community—led by a moderator who brings a subject of local importance along with comments by participating panelists.  Moderators and Panelists have also come from both other Texas cities as well as from national institutions that were connected with particular Panel subjects.  Panels offer attendees the opportunity to participate in creating discourse.  Important topics addressed in Panels in recent years include: “Thoughts on the Dallas Comprehensive Plan”; “The Kimbell Expansion: A Discussion”; “Filling Out the Dallas Arts District”; and “Re-envisioning the Trinity”.
