Designer Greg Lynn Presents 2012 Sally Walsh Lecture

Katie Plocheck

Rice Design Alliance, in collaboration with the Rice School of Architecture, the AIA Houston Chapter, and the Architecture Center Houston Foundation, welcome Greg Lynn to present the annual Sally Walsh lecture on Tuesday, April 3.

This annual lecture is dedicated to the memory of distinguished Houston interior designer Sally Walsh, who is widely credited with bringing modern design to Houston. The lecture honors Walsh’s groundbreaking foray into modern design by bringing cutting edge designers to Houston. This year’s lecturer is Greg Lynn who will give a talk entitled “Surfaces Without Superficiality.”

Lynn is best known for introducing digital technology into the medium of design, and pioneering the fabrication of complex functional and ergonomic forms using innovative machinery. After receiving two undergraduate degrees from Miami University of Ohio, and a graduate degree in architecture from Princeton, Lynn’s career has spanned disciplines and garnered him much praise. Among others, Lynn has been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most innovative people in the world for the 21st century in 2001, and received a fellowship from United States Artists in 2010.

His studio, Greg Lynn FORM, works within and among multiple fields, partnering with companies such as BMW, Boeing, Disney and Imaginary Forces. Along with architecture, Lynn himself is influenced by previous studies in philosophy and has been involved in combining the practices of “design and construction with the speculative, theoretical and experimental potentials of writing and teaching,” according to his website.
