SUMMARY:Architecture Matters | Redefining Practice in Texas: How Design Excellence Improves Daily Life
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Architecture Matters Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:Women in Architecture: Building Tour + Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Women in Architecture Network\, Hosted by GFF Design\n23Springs\, 2323 Cedar Springs Rd\, Dallas\, TX 75201\nWednesday\, March 4\, 5:30 – 7:00 PM\nFREE Event – SOLD OUT! \nThe Women in Architecture Network invites you for a tour of the 23 Springs office tower in Uptown\, followed by a happy hour at the recently completed Little Ruby’s. \nAbout 23Springs\nA landmark office tower in Uptown Dallas\, 23Springs reclaims valuable real estate for public life—elevating workplace design while anchoring a new pedestrian-friendly urban district.\n23Springs is situated in the heart of Uptown\, a rapidly evolving urban district. Granite Properties tasked GFF with creating a distinctive office environment characterized by its architecture\, public spaces\, and pedestrian connections to the surrounding area. The response was to design a tall\, elegant tower to minimize the building footprint and dedicate the remaining site to publicly accessible open space\, vibrant uses\, and a walkable streetscape. Parking is placed below grade to prioritize pedestrian access and maximize the activation of outdoor spaces.
