Dallas Architecture Forum
Timothy J. Hursley
Architectural photographer, Timohty J. Hursley will be the featured speaker at the upcoming Dallas Architecture Forum Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at the Magnolia Theatre.
In 2003 and 2004, Hursley photographed the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock (see below). Hursley’s photographs, on view at the Historic Arkansas Museum, documented the center’s construction from the ground up. According to Polshek Partnership Architects, “The William J. Clinton Presidential Center is located within a new 28-acre public park along the south bank of the Arkansas River, directly east of downtown Little Rock. The integrated architectural and site design transforms a former industrial site of old warehouses and undeveloped open space into a singular destination that is an integral element in the revitalization and expansion of downtown Little Rock.”
