About the Artist:

Jean Louis Charles Garnier (1825-1898) was a French architect, born on Nov. 6, 1825, in Paris. He became the apprentice of the French architect Louis Hippolyte Lebas and learned neoclassical style design. He was a full time student at École des Beaux-Arts in 1841. Garnier spent 5 years in Italy after winning the Grand Prix de Rome in 1848 at the age of 23. He later traveled through Greece and found architectural influence among the ruins there. Garnier entered the competition for the Académie Nationale de Musique, better known as the Opéra, in Paris in 1861. He won fifth prize in the first stage of a two-phase competition and later that year won the commission selected from over 171 entries. The Opéra was built from 1862 to 1867; the interiors were not completed until 1874. The folio Le Nouvel Opera de Paris was published in 1878 to honor Garnier’s grand design.

The Dallas Architecture Forum continues its FREE panel discussions on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Cunningham Architects, 918 Dragon St.  The topic is “Working Space.” Thomas Feulmer, Director of Educational Programming for The Rachofsky House, will lead the panel.

Three people who work in buildings designed by well-known architects will discuss how they’ve come to understand the spaces in which they spend most of their daily lives. Their experiences of how these buildings function as practical, social, and poetic spaces will be the jumping off point for a discussion on how we develop relationships with architecture.

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.
