The community of Dallas architects-or rather Texas architects-being able to come together, exchange ideas, and listen to speakers that are working on specific building types and are interested in different ideas is always better for the industry as a whole, and design as a whole. Given that we’re back at the office, I think that’s helped with our design and process. Architecture is a very collaborative process. I think anything that is in person is always more dynamic and more interesting and more of a collaboration of ideas.

We really like natural materials, things that have a story and can age, or even if they can help tell a story we’re interested in. Mark Holsinger: F or, energy-efficient materials and anything we can do to reduce building costs or extend the lifecycle, so looking at just any kind of material that’s going to help in that direction.

This unparalleled opportunity for attendees will also give speakers from abroad, such as Matthew Lella from the Toronto-based Diamond Schmitt, the opportunity to see their own work for the first time since borders have opened post-pandemic.
