Rice Architecture Public Program: Fall 2023
September 18–November 15

We embrace wholeheartedly the global responsibilities placed upon our field, using diverse lived experiences and rigorous research methodologies to collectively take stock of our discipline. Rice Architecture aims to foster such spirited and intentional discourse—a discourse directed at the reconstruction not only of a single school or its curriculum, but that of the entire planet.
