Rice University has long been hailed as one the country’s most beautiful campuses, with a collection of acclaimed buildings and a landscape fabric that connects and amplifies the opportunities for learning, exploration and belonging.

Who better that DS+R to explore the shed vernacular and adapt it for a new generation of visual and performing arts exploration? It has been another wonderful collaboration with Charles Renfro and their talented team to add to the landscape expression for the project. We are honored to continue our role as trusted advisors to the University, and look forward to the remarkable art that will be born in this new visual and performing arts hub. And the full article also showcases the stunning images by Iwan Baan.
