ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Scott Marble is a founding partner of Marble Fairbanks and a faculty member at the Co­lumbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP). His early engagement with digital technologies at Columbia University, teaching one of the first “paperless” design studios, has allowed Marble Fairbanks to pioneer innovative uses of digital fabrication and unique assemblies in their built work. Scott is a frequent lecturer in the areas of digital technologies and building information modeling (BIM). Scott received his Master of Architecture degree from Columbia University where he received the AIA Award and a William Kinne Traveling Fellowship and his Bachelor of Environmental Design degree from Texas A&M University. In 2008 Marble Fairbanks was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York to design a speculative project addressing the potentials of digital design and fabrication for the exhibition Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.

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.

Documentary Director, Eric Bricker

Screening of “Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman”

Thursday, 7 p.m.

1 October 2009

Magnolia Theater, West Village

The first event of the Dallas Architecture Forum’s season is a screening of Visual Acoustics, a film about the world’s greatest architectural photographer, Julius Shulman, on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Magnolia Theatre, 3699 McKinney Ave. in Uptown Dallas.  Director Eric Bricker will be in attendance. Single tickets, available at the door only, are $20 for general admission and $5 for students with I.D. Dallas Architecture Forum members are admitted for free. The reception begins at 6:15 p.m.  For more information, call 214-764-2406 or visit www.dallasarchitectureforum.org.

Visual Acoustics explores the monumental career of the late architectural photographer, Julius Shulman, who passed away on July 15th, 2009. Populating his photos with human models and striking landscapes, Shulman combined the organic with the synthetic, melding nature with revolutionary urban design. The resulting images helped shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century, including Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner and many others.  Taking aesthetic cues from Shulman’s own sensual and nuanced photography, the film’s narrative is built from a blend of Shulman’s own images and in-depth interviews with architect Frank Gehry, designer Tom Ford, artist Ed Ruscha, actress Kelly Lynch, writer Mitch Glazer, publisher Benedikt Taschen, Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti and a host of others. By offering unprecedented and exclusive access to his amazing photographic archive and day-to-day life, Shulman’s dedicated involvement in the filming process was an incalculable benefit to the film.   Shulman’s career began in 1936 when he began photographing homes designed by the architect Richard Neutra. Shulman was subsequently flooded with commissions from other well-known architects including Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies Van der Rohe. Over the coming years, Shulman became one of the artists responsible for establishing the cohesive “look” of 20th-century Modernist design.
