The Dallas Architecture Forum continues its FREE panel discussions on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Dallas Center for Architecture, 1909 Woodall Rogers Frwy. The topic is “Renovating Modern.” Svend Fruit, AIA, will lead the panel.
A discussion of the importance of saving Modern architecture for the context of the city – how to work with it and how to learn from it. What are the inspirations of an architect, an interior designer and an owner in such work?
Architect Svend Fruit founded Bodron+ Fruit in 1998 with Interior Designer Mil Bodron as a design collaboration of Architecture and Interior Design. Bodron + Fruit seeks to create modern design that responds to the context of their surroundings through careful analysis of the site and clients needs. Over the last eleven years in addition to designing new residences and interiors Bodron + Fruit has had the opportunity to work on the renovation of several significant modern homes, including projects originally designed by Phillip Johnson, Edward Larabee Barnes, Howard Meyer and E.G. Hamilton. Prior to founding Bodron+ Fruit, Svend Fruit worked in the office of noted Dallas architect Max Levy.

ABOUT THE DALLAS ARCHITECTURE FORUM
The Dallas Architecture Forum provides a continuing and challenging public discourse on architecture and urban design in – and for – the Dallas area. The Forum offers presentations of architecture through public lectures by designers, critics, and historians; through topical discussions; and through occasional study tours to buildings and cities locally and throughout the world. The Dallas Architecture Forum serves as an inclusive arena where people interested in and concerned with the built environment, non-professionals and professionals alike, may interact intellectually and socially.
Our membership comes from business, development, public affairs, education, the arts and from the design fields.
This mix of interests and ties is one of the strengths we bring to our involvement with architecture. Support for the Forum’s programs is a grassroots effort, coming from membership subscriptions at all levels and from the generous sponsorship of Forum seasons and events.
