Need something to do tonight? Take advantage of AIA Fort Worth’s free Design Talk at University of Texas at Arlington’s Fort Worth Center featuring Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster.
Lamster, who is also a professor at UTA, will discuss “the challenges of urban planning and development in Dallas specifically and Texas and the United States more broadly, looking especially at preservation, justice, and sustainability,” in tonight’s lecture. The event kicks off at 7 p.m. and is open to the public.
I am sure there will be plenty of words said about the recent spate of teardowns in downtown Dallas and the preservation community’s response to the razing of historic buildings. Lamster has frequently decried Dallas’ car culture and has taken many jabs at the Arts District luxury highrise Museum Tower. That’s all to say that you shouldn’t forget your popcorn tonight.
You can find out more about this evening’s event, as well as other free Design Talk lectures hosted by AIA Fort Worth, on the organization’s website. Better yet, sign up for their newsletter.
