“I see architecture as the sublime art, and it is a sacred trust to be able to leave behind records of this highest order of creativity.” — Victor Lundy, 2017
Architect Victor Lundy’s long and varied career saw him produce striking, sculptural designs for homes, retail stores, churches and government buildings. Lundy was trained in the Beaux Arts and Bauhaus traditions, and though his work drew from both, his experimentation with material and form created a style all his own. Today, Lundy’s work is praised for its careful composition and timeless quality — and yet he remains one of the most underappreciated figures in modern American architecture.
Join Preservation Houston and Houston Mod on Tuesday evening, August 27, for an online program exploring Lundy’s remarkable career with architect Donna Kacmar and architectural historian Stephen Fox. Kacmar edited the 2019 book Victor Lundy: Artist Architect, the first on the architect’s life and work; Fox contributed a chapter on Lundy’s Houston projects, including the 1985 studio he designed for his wife Anstis and their 1988 home in Bellaire.
A Q&A with the speakers, moderated by architect and Houston Mod President Steve Curry, will follow the presentation.
