The Dallas Architecture Forum will present Juan Miró and Miguel Rivera of Miró Rivera Architects in the Sixth Annual Frank Welch Memorial Lecture.

Miró Rivera’s award-winning design philosophy is rooted in "responsible architecture" that believes architects must engage as thinkers, builders and artists on every project. Founding partners Rivera, FAIA and Miró, FAIA were born only a few days apart in Puerto Rico and Spain, where they studied architecture before completing Master’s Degrees at Columbia and Yale.

The partners worked at illustrious studios including Gwathmey Siegel, Felix Candela, Santiago Calatrava and Mitchell/Giurgola before founding their own firm. Their esteemed projects include the Pedestrian Bridge and the Core-ten Trail Restroom at the Lady Bird Lake Trail, both honored by Architectural Review / RIBA; Chinmaya Mission; Stonehedge Residence; and Lakeshore Residence. Circuit of The Americas Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin was named one of ArchDaily’s top 100 works of architecture in the country.

The studio marries elegant design with time-tested sustainable elements that include locally sourced materials, water conservation, and abundant natural light. It is widely published including Architectural Record and the New York Times and its own monograph, Miró Rivera Architects: Building a New Arcadia. The studio has received over 100 design awards, including 40 AIA awards, numerous Austin Green Building certifications, and exhibited at the Venice Architectural Biennale. In 2016, the studio received the Texas Society of Architects’ Architecture Firm Award. They are listed as one of ArchDaily’s World’s Best Architects and were honored with the 2023 Texas Medal of Arts in Architecture.
