To commemorate the 40th anniversary of RDA and the Centennial celebrations of Rice University and the Rice School of Architecture, the tour, titled Centennial Tour, will showcase ten significant Houston residences designed by Rice School of Architecture faculty throughout the school’s 100 year history.
Designed by educator-practitioner architects including William Ward Watkins, Anderson Todd, and Nonya Grenader, the homes on the tour are a testament to the enduring impact that the school has made on the residential community in Houston. Spanning ten decades, the tour-goer will have a unique opportunity to reflect on the changes and evolutions—from the traditional to the avant garde—that architecture has undergone over the past century, as interpreted by local talent.
