Out to Lunch: November 8, 2017 - A Hays Down Town

Geoff Dyer is the CEO and Director of Design for the Downtown Development Authority in Lafayette. Geoff is an urban designer with an international reputation. He’s designed more than 80 projects in 18 states across the US. He’s both an enthusiast and an authority on downtown revitalization. Which is what he specializes in here in Lafayette. Ursula Emery McClure is a founding partner in the firm Emery McClure Architecture, and occupies the prestigious seat of A. Hays Town Professor in the School of Architecture at LSU. Ursula has won numerous international prizes for her architecture and her firm’s work is internationally recognized as well. Here at home, Ursula’s designs are sometimes controversial as she champions forward thinking design while, as she puts it, “being caught between the global petro-chemical infrastructure and an alligator.”
