Saitowitz, Stanley

Rice Univ School of Architecture

<p>In an inspired combination of historic preservation and cutting-edge art, Rice University took a decaying group of 1930-vintage abandoned shotgun houses and turned them into Project Row Houses, dedicated to art, photography, and literary projects. Row documents the 15th round of installations at Project Row, for which black architects were invited to look at the nature of the shotgun house itself, a classic example of southern vernacular architecture. In photos, drawings and a series of moving essays by prominent writers, Row explores the nature of home.</p>

<p>Spanning 15 years of propositions for suburban cities, particularly Houston, from the Rice School of Architecture. Everything Must Move is a book documenting over a decade of propositions about the suburban city in general, and Houston in particular. This city-- shapeless, polluted, traffic-clogged, water-logged, limitless--has been a workshop for testing ideas about operating in impossible situations. Everything Must Move is, in many ways, an archival project, however through the infusion of this archival material with new perspectives and projections the project remains poly-vocal, diverse, and open.This new material presented mainly in the form of short essays, written in response to the projects, photographs, and research that form the backbone of the the project that Rice School of Architecture, under the direction of dean Lars Lerup, has undertaken in the last 15 years.</p>
