Aesthetics and The City (CANCELED)

Age Limit

All ages

Free

Dallas Architecture Forum is presenting a moderated panel discussion called Aesthetics and the City on Saturday, September 8 at 2:30 p.m. Krys Boyd, of KERA's "Think," will be the moderator. Admission is free.

The difficult issues raised by the construction of Museum Tower and its real effect on Dallas Arts District neighbor the Nasher Sculpture Center open many questions as to legal development rights of a property owner in Texas and larger civic and even cultural responsibility. At what point should the built environment be held to a higher standard? Should the City itself be the arbiter of such criteria and, if so, by what mechanism? Is an Arts District, or any other site of cultural import, a sensitive context requiring special legal protections or tools such as an Environmental Impact Statement? What are the limits of a "pro-development" mindset? Panelists including Veletta Lill, Executive Director of the Dallas Arts District, and architect Vel Hawes will join moderator Krys Boyd to discuss these very important issues.
