The Houston Talks Fall 1996 and Spring 1997 The Rice Design Alliance, the Rice University School of Architecture, and the University of Houston College of Architecture are for the first time collaborating on a series of three lectures to be presented in the fall of 1996 and the spring of 1997. The committee's discussions centered on what the Rice Design Alliance could do to support the educational opportunities for the students of both schools, while supporting its own mission of community-wide education. What has resulted is a program where nationally and internationally recognized architects have been invited to give a public lecture and to spend time working in studios and in seminars with students of both schools. The speakers were selected by a joint committee consisting of representatives from RDA and the two schools.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
