February 18, 2012

 
"O'Neil Ford and the Future of Trinity University" will bring together scholars and architects from throughout the United States to discuss the work of one of the most important modern architects in Texas and to explore ways of honoring his legacy at Trinity University.


Speakers will examine Ford's work at Trinity in relationship to education, history, and other Texas campuses as well as to mid-century American modernism.

The symposium will also explore new approaches to landscape architecture, campus planning, and the reuse of mid-century buildings.

The symposium will be held in Chapman Auditorium. A continental breakfast will be served starting at 8:30 a.m. in the Chapman Center Foyer. The formal program begins at 9 a.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m., with the option to visit Ford buildings afterward. Lunch is included in the price of the ticket.
