Dallas Architecture Form: A Report on Ghost 13

About

The Ghost Lab is not, as it turns out, a place for poltergeists to conduct science experiments. Rather, it's a bit of Canadian countryside that belongs to the architect Brian Mackay-Lyons, and serves as a research site for his firm. For more than a decade, he's hosted conferences of like-minded individuals. The most recent one, Ghost 13, started out as a retrospective and turned into all sorts of philosophizing about how we live our lives. Architecture, or the meaning of life? Sometimes the two can be difficult to separate. The Dallas Center for Architecture hosts a panel discussion tonight to reflect on Ghost 13 and the "neohumanist" ideas that emerged. Andrew Vernooy, dean of the Texas Tech University College of Architecture, will moderate.
