Patrick Lopez (1937-2018) studied architecture at the University of Texas and the University of Houston and opened his own design firm in 1964. Yet it was his childhood fascination with images in comic books and cartoons that inspired his career as an illustrator. His talents were recognized and sought after by major firms across the country. Lopez spent years working with some of the best architects, including Helmut Jahn, Philip Johnson, John Burgee, S. I. Morris, and Eugene Aubry.
Join us on Saturday, January 31, at the Julian Ideson Library for a conversation and a look at the library’s collection of Lopez’s architectural renderings with Ginger Berni, Architecture Archivist II.
The event is free and open to the community. RSVP here.
This event is part of our current exhibition, Nuestro Ambiente, on view through January 30, 2026.
