Rice University, Houston, TX, US, BArch, Architecture/Film
Majored in Architecture with most memorable work with Jon Casbarian & Danny Samuels of Taft Architects and Steven Izenour of Venturi, Rauch & Scott Brown. Concentrated in Multi-Family Housing, but also had success with Library and Recreational Center projects. The many art studio requirements resulted in a double major in film with Brian Huberman, the only member of my class who went that route. Film editing and criticism were my favorite parts of that program. Spent a year of preceptorship 1981-82 in the San Francisco office of Fisher-Friedman Associates. Having also spent significant undergraduate time in theatre work and writing for the school paper, I offered to curtail those activities during my fifth year, but was told that was not a problem. I appreciated the multi-cultural opportunities within the small school with individual attention from staff, a bonus I did not understand when I applied and was accepted Early Decision in 1977 - again the only one in my class which I discovered only my last week at school.
