  1. I got this in my email box this morning and thought I'd share. Mod Squad and former Mod Squad members are having their houses shown on the tour this year. It should be excellent. As many of you may already be aware, this year RDA's annual architecture tour will feature 9 houses under 2000 square feet. The tour will be held on March 28-29 from 1-6 each day. Visit rda.rice.edu for more information about the tour. In collaboration with the tour, we will be holding a Civic Forum next Thursday, March 19th, to discuss some of the challenges and rewards of building small. Representatives from the mortgage banking, development, and government sectors will discuss some of the issues that necessitate the trend towards smaller, more efficient houses. Architects and homeowners participating on the tour will be in the audience to ask questions and stimulate discussion related to their own projects. This event (as with all our Civic Forum events) is free and open to the public. It will be held at the Brown Auditorium, MFA,H at 7 pm. We hope to see you on the 19th, and again on the tour!
  2. Looks really great although the membership fee is a bit steep. I wanted to join anyway, so I guess it's OK. Anyone done one of these before? How bike-friendly is it? It looks like the houses are too close together to drive, but too far apart to be able to see them all if you have to walk between them. http://rda.rice.edu/index.php?topgroupid=6...&groupid=78 Thanks, marmer
  3. Here comes the RDA tour! I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the mods on the tour. Either what you might know about them before or after you've seen them. 250 Pine Hollow Circle, 1953 Wilson, Morris & Crain, architects The owner of this house talked at the lecture the other night. Her problems with flooding and the loss of land to the currents of the bayou over the years made my problems with noise from the street seem like nothing. She was a very entertaining speaker. I am looking forward to seeing this house. This link below shows a picture of the back of the house back when it was built. The owner said the house is still pretty original all things considered, because they have had to put their money into other things, like reclaiming the land from the bayou... http://texasarchitect.org/ta200509-essay.p...e8752cf985dfbbc 266 Pine Hollow Circle, 1972 P. M. Bolton Associates, architect 403 Westminster, 1960 Neuhaus and Taylor, architect This house is newly restored, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I'm hoping they have some before pictures as well. I am a docent here on the early shift Saturday, so stop and say hi to the big smiling bald guy! 407 Thamer Circle, 1974 Raymond Brochstein, Anderson Todd, and William T. Cannady, architects http://rda.rice.edu/index2.php?topgroupid=...d=34&groupid=78 Jason
  4. Last night at the Rice Design Alliance Civic Forum it was announced that Houston Mod will assist RDA in planning their April tour. Any info on what may be included? The tour is scheduled for April 2 & 3, 1-5 PM.
