Within the context of New Technologies in Architecture—new materials, new geometries, and new structural strategies—Ghost 13 took a stand on the principles of Place, Craft and Community. Initiated as a retrospective of Brian Mackay-Lyons’ innovative 12 years of physically engaged, yet theoretically driven, architectural production on his stunning site west of Halifax, Ghost 13 listed among its participants some of the most talented architects practicing today. Benchmarked by presentations from Kenneth Frampton, Juhani Pallasmaa and Glenn Murcutt, the week of inspiring discussions naturally lead to speculations about the larger agenda. Was Ghost 13 merely a thoughtful reflection on beautiful architecture or did it make a claim for New Humanism within the context of an exceedingly technically driven culture? You decide, as attendees discuss the issues explicitly, and implicitly, generated by the conference.

The Dallas Architecture Forum continues its FREE panel discussions on Tuesday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Dallas Center for Architecture, 1909 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Suite 100. The topic is “On Collaboration.” Julie Cohn will lead the panel. Designers, architects and artists often times function as de facto therapists in the creative process. They facilitate dialogue between clients, product designers, manufacturers etc. enabling through collaboration the creation of a final product that is a seamless sum of its parts. It is no accident that the collaborative model is most often the underlying structure of a successful building, design, invention or work of art.
