For several summers he studied, eventually taking his entire staff, architects and administrators alike, to study with him and share his excitement and exposure to the bases of western architecture. As we were collaborating on several projects, he encouraged me to share in this adventure, including several of my designers on trips to Italy for two summers in a row. Cole also induced a number of other local architects and designers to join in these studies, stimulating lifelong enthusiasms in many Dallas area design professionals. http://www.hayslipdesign.com/blog.html?pid=3 tag:hayslipdesign.com,12/01/2009:/blog/3 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500 On Saturday, November 7, my wonderful husband, Cole Smith and I were thrilled to host ''Un Petit Symposium: Les Fetes de Versailles, French Splendor in the 18th Century'' http://www.hayslipdesign.com/blog.html?pid=4 tag:hayslipdesign.com,12/01/2009:/blog/4 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500
