The DOCOMOMO US/North Texas Chapter represents a
diverse group of professionals and public whose concern is
the protection, interpretation and appreciation of the unique
manifestations of the Modern Movement within the region.
Works by such nationally-recognized architects as William
Lescaze, Harrison & Abramovitz, Paul P. Cret, Richard Neutra,
F.L. Wright, H.H. Harris, E.L. Barnes, Philip Johnson,
Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Louis Kahn, I.M. Pei and Paul
Rudolph exist in number within the chapter’s boundaries. In
addition, such regional modernists as O’Neil Ford, George
Dahl, Howard Meyer, Wyatt Hedrick, Bud Oglesby and many
others developed intriguing architectural sensibilities within the
context. Landscape architects including George Kessler, Hare
and Hare, Thomas Church and Dan Kiley have had significant
impact on the north Texas environment. It is the intention of
the group to document this work and to follow it’s influences
into the present day work of design professionals throughout
Texas and the nation.
