Dallas Architecture Forum Hosts Distinguished Architect Tom Kundig

Tom Kundig

Award-winning. Distinguished. Highest honors. Luminary.

These are just a few of the ways people describe residential architect Tom Kundig, FAIA. The owner and principal of Seattle’s Olson Kundig Architects, Kundig is known for his distinct style that uses linear and cubic forms that both enhance and embrace the landscape. Kundig will speak at the Dallas City Performance Hall at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, with a brief reception beginning at 6:15.



He’s no stranger to the limelight, as Kundig has received a National Design Award from the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and an Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His designs include a World Heritage site in Dachstein, Austria, that has been lauded time and again across titles such as The New York Times, The Telegraph, Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and in Diane Keaton’s recently released book House.
