Landscapes for Living: Post War Years in Texas
May 6-8, 2010 |
Symposium May 6-8, 2010 Spotlights Texas’ Rich Post War Landscape Heritage Landscapes for Living, the first 2010 installment in a series of ten symposia, will feature 13 speakers, a screening of the rarely seen “Water Garden” (1974) about Phillip Johnson’s designs for Fort Worth, and tours of public and private gardens in Dallas and Forth Worth. The symposium will begin with an evening reception on May 6 where TCLF will award three Stewardship Excellence awards. The following day, speakers will address the work of Arthur and Marie Berger (who designed the DeGolyer Estate, now part of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, and Temple Emanu-El), and will also focus on several significant public commissions and their designers including Fountain Place by Dan Kiley, Heritage Park and the Trinity River Study by Lawrence Halprin, and the Water Gardens, Thanksgiving Square and the University of Saint Thomas, all by Phillip Johnson. Speakers include Charles Birnbaum, Mark Gunderson, Laurie Olin, Doug Reed, Fritz Steiner and Frank Welch.
On May 8, a day of tours will feature public landscapes including Heritage Park and the Water Gardens, plus private gardens at the former Henry and Patty Beck House and The Greelee House. Mr. Reed is currently working at both of these residences. In addition, Tary Arterburn, a panel participant and landscape architect, will lead a tour of one of his firm’s modernist private commissions.
