SUMMARY:Get to Know an Architect: Patrick Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Lopez (1937-2018) studied architecture at the University of Texas and the University of Houston and opened his own design firm in 1964.

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. \nIn collaboration with the Houston History Research Center (HHRC)\, 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 HHRC Architecture Archivist Ginger Berni. \nThe event is free and open to the community. RSVP here. \n\nThis event is part of our current exhibition\, Nuestro Ambiente\, on view through January 30\, 2026. \nExhibition and Programming Sponsors:\nInfraTECH; Luis Ayala Studio; Marek; Martinez Architects; Page now Stantec; Spaw Glass; RDLR; McCoy Rockford; and Art Chavez\, AIA. \nAdditional support provided by\nDBR\, Wilson and Catherine Maxey\, and Daniel Ortiz\, AIA
