Dallas Architecture Forum, a non-profit organization for everyone interested in learning about and improving the architecture, design, landscape and urban fabric of the North Texas region is pleased to continue its 2015-16 Lecture Season with outstanding architect Billie Tsien, Co-Founder and Partner of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects - a New York City-based studio focused on work for museums, schools, and non-profit organizations. Tsien’s many projects include the new art museum for the Barnes Foundation collection, the American Folk Art Museum in New York, projects for Lincoln Center in New York and Cranbrook in Michigan, and the Dallas residence for the developer of Urban Reserve.
She will speak on Thursday, November 19 at 7 p.m. in the Horchow Auditorium at the Dallas Museum of Art.
“Billie Tsien and her studio, Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, produce incredibly refined and thoughtful architecture”, stated Nate Eudaly, Executive Director of the Dallas Architecture Forum. “They were selected to design the new art museum for the Barnes Foundation collection, one of the most important commissions of its type over the last several decades. They also have done major commissions for the Asia Society Center in Hong Kong, Lincoln Center, the Phoenix Art Museum, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago and Phillips Exeter Academy. They are also currently designing the new United States Embassy in Mexico City. In recognition of their wonderful body of work, Tsien has been honored with the National Medal of Arts, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, and a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. We think her presentation will be of great interest to the greater Dallas community.”
