Welch died last June at the age of 90 and the Dallas Architecture Forum has established the Frank Welch Memorial Lecture to be presented each season as a part of its lecture series. The inaugural lecture will be given Jan. 30 by Ted Flato, FAIA, Co-Founder of Lake Flato Architects, one of the most honored and respected architecture firms in the country.

“The architectural philosophy and outstanding award-winning work of Ted Flato make him the perfect choice to present the [lecture],” said Forum Executive Director Nate Eudaly. “Like Frank Welch, Ted Flato designs projects that are shaped by the opportunities and challenges presented by their environments, and he seeks to create a seamless connection between interior spaces and the surrounding outdoors.”

Corpus Christi native Flato received his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Stanford University. With David Lake, he co-founded the Lake Flato firm in 1984 and Flato has earned a reputation for straight-forward, regional designs that leverage each unique site to connect people to the natural environment.

Flato is also known for employing sustainable strategies in a wide variety of building types and scales, seeking to conserve energy and natural resources while creating a healthy built environment. Additionally, he developed Lake Flato Porch House, a system of modules and connecting porch elements that link to the outdoors and simplify the design and construction process in a way that is less wasteful.
