Those familiar with the Godbey Lecture Series know its discussions–Encounters with Medieval Spain; Poetry of John Keats; and Russia at the Crossroads–can make you the darling of any cocktail party. Their twelfth annual spring tour of homes, benefiting the fund for faculty excellence at SMU, offers more useful info. The April 3 tour features the work of Lawrence Speck of Page Southerland Page, Lionel Morrison of Morrison Seifert Murphy, and Gary Cunningham of Cunningham Architects. The Dallas residences are quite lookers, as this Speck house (not spec house) shows. He redesigned this Turtle Creek-side home, originally by the late great Bud Oglesby. $150, a small price to pay for a Dallas Architecture 101 course. Register by calling 214-768-2532.
