Reception and check-in 6:15 from 6:15-6:55
Magnolia Theater, West Village
Presented in partnership with UTA-CAPPA
Since its foundation in 1994 by Fernando Tabuenca and Jesús Leache, Tabuenca & Leache Arquitectos, a firm settled in Pamplona (Spain), has developed a wide variety of projects, from urban design to architectural design (new buildings for residential, industrial, cultural, sport, education, religious, etc.), and also renovations, interior design and product design.
In the late 90’s, Tabuenca and his partner were selected by the prestigious architects Rafael Moneo and Alvaro Siza, together with five other young architectural teams, to be among the most relevant emergent Iberian architects and to show their early work at the 1st Spanish-Portuguese Architectural Encounters organized by Dukes of Soria Foundation held in Lisbon.
Since then, they have received many awards and recognitions in Spain from architects associations and institutions such as FAD, CSCAE, COAVN, COAM, ASCER, EGURTEK, to mention but a few, and from abroad: Fondazione Frate Sole, University of Ferrara, Faith and Form-American Institute of Architects, ECOLA, European Union Prize-Mies Van der Rohe and other well-known institutions. Their works have been published in various international magazines like El Croquis, A&V, Arquitectura Viva, Casabella, Detail, Architekture Aktuell, AIT, Octogon, A+U and many others.
Two significant built projects are the restoration and renovation of the Constable’s House and Saint George’s Parish Church, both in Pamplona. The first project has been published in the latest issue of Casabella magazine and in many other publications, and has won an American Architectural Prize. The Parish Church has received the Honor Award for Religious Architecture (IFRAA), has been exhibited at the AIA Small Project Awards Exhibition in Chicago and has also been broadly published in architectural magazines.
Fernando Tabuenca has lectured in Spain, Italy, France and Taiwan. At the present time, he is an associate professor in the College of Engineering and Architecture at the University of Zaragoza. Tabuenca has also taught in Pamplona, Madrid and Buenos Aires, and he is now a visiting associate professor at Cornell University.
About the Dallas Architecture Forum
The Dallas Architecture Forum is a not-for-profit civic organization that brings leading architectural thought leaders from around the world to speak in Dallas and also fosters important local dialogue about the major issues impacting our urban environment. The Forum was founded in 1996 by some of Dallas’ leading architects, business, cultural and civic leaders, and it continues to benefit from active support and guidance from these citizens. The Forum fulfills its mission of providing a continuing and challenging public discourse on architecture and urban design in - and for - the Dallas area. 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.

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”.
