ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Gordon Gill has designed award-winning architecture across the globe.  His work emphasizes a holistic approach to design that integrates all project disciplines.  The results are performance-based designs that work symbiotically with their natural surroundings, that contribute to the sustainability of cities, and that augment the built landscape creating an optimal user experience.  Among the firm’s many innovative large-scale projects are the world’s first net zero-energy skyscraper and the first large-scale positive energy building. Gill has received numerous awards including recognition from the AIA and Architectural Record, and has written on the benefits of dense, sustainable communities.

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.
