The Dallas Architecture Forum (The Forum) was founded in 1996 by visionaries including Deedie Rose, Mort Meyerson, Virginia McAlester, Ray Nasher and Rick Brettell. As a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation, it is supported by its members, donors, sponsors, corporate members and the general public. Its extensive programming reach is furthered by a dedicated group of volunteers and board members. The Forum engages people from across the design professions as well as those from other professional backgrounds who are interested in architecture, landscape and public spaces, urbanism, public policy, art and design. Over 65,000 North Texans have been inspired and challenged to improve their lives and strengthen their communities through our programming.
The Forum presents an annual Lecture Series that features nationally and internationally distinguished speakers from disciplines that include architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and urban planning. Our over 250 Lecture Speakers include noted critics, writers, and historians and cultural leaders.
The Forum also presents a series of Panel Discussions throughout the season that feature informal conversations focused on local design talent and issues impacting us both locally and globally.
