Dallas Architecture Forum: Inaugural David Dillon Symposium: Criticism Today
the Nasher Sculpture Center,
2001 Flora St
Dallas, TX

Ticket Price: $45 adults $15 students
The inaugural David Dillon Symposium will be April 26 and 27 at the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center and will honor Dillon's prolific career as an architectural critic. Through a keynote address and a daylong symposium, the changing role and venues for architectural criticism today will be explored. A wide range of respected speakers from Texas and across the country who write about architecture for newspapers, magazines, journals, books, and blogs, will consider the purpose of architectural criticism in a digital world where publishing and access to information have radically changed the traditions of the field. What is the role of the architectural critic today? Who reads criticism? Can good criticism help shape a better, more vibrant city? The Symposium also will include: Kate Holliday, Director of David Dillon Center for Texas Architecture; Scott Cantrell, critic at The Dallas Morning News; Thomas Fisher, Dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota; Stephen Fox, fellow of the Anchorage Foundation of Texas; Christopher Hawthorne, architecture critic for the Los Angeles Times; Alexandra Lange, critic, journalist and architectural historian; Benjamin Lima, critic and art history professor at University of Texas Arlington; and Stephan Sharpe, editor of Texas Architect.
