Take me to:
On Sunday, October 23, Rice Design Alliance will host its 50th Anniversary Celebration. Chaired by Scott and Judy Nyquist, the event celebrates RDA’s pivotal role as the public programs and outreach arm of Rice Architecture for the past five decades.
RDA's 50th-anniversary fete is a welcome departure from the traditional RDA galas of the past. We are planning a beautiful experience under a stunning outdoor structure on the lawn of Founder's Court in front of majestic Lovett Hall on Rice University's campus. The evening will include a festive program centered around a dynamic cocktail party with a curated menu of hors'oeuvres and specialty cocktails by City Kitchen. There will be flowing bars, cozy lounges, live music, dancing and mingling, and thoughtful surprises to celebrate RDA, Cite magazine, and the next 50 years of design! Seating is available throughout the venue, along with accessibility options and valet parking. We're excited to gather together not only to reconnect and reengage but also to honor our prolific past and to toast a bright future.
All event proceeds directly support RDA’s programs and operations. Please contact the RDA office with any questions at rda@rice.edu or 713-348-4876.
