About the Frank Welch Memorial Lecture
Frank Welch was a long-time friend and member of The Dallas Architecture Forum. The Forum was fortunate to have events at many of the residences that he designed. The highlight of each event was when Frank would give brief remarks about the project to the attendees. He was always gracious, insightful, and humble, and his presence made the event memorable for all who attended.
Frank Welch’s legacy will continue through his work, including The Birthday project, which inspired the design aesthetic of a new generation of Texas design professionals. The architects that Frank Welch mentored and the lives he touched are lasting tributes to his vision and humanity.
Frank
Welch’s family has designated The Dallas Architecture Forum as one of

be made. Donations will be used to fund the annual Frank Welch Memorial Lecture.
