Saw his house at 1802 Sunset when I was out and about for the RDA tour (it wasn't on the tour) and the Houston Architecture Guidebook lists a small commercial building for an advertising agency in the Rice Village area. Anyone know anything else about him?

The company he founded has a site. It says he died in 2001.

The Sunset house was on the 1997 RDA tour. Another house was on the 1987 RDA tour:

UH Faculty:

David D. Red. Professor Emeritus of Architecture. A.I.A. and Registered Architect. B.A., B.S., Rice University.

Probably some people at the BSA company or UH could tell you more.

David Red was my dad's senior thesis advisor at UH in either '74 or '75, just before Red went out on his own. He also gave dad a copy of his book, something that was only rumored to exist. It's called "About Architecture", and Jim Glass, original proprieter of the Kelvin Design Studio, also has a copy. I don't know who else does. We decided to donate our manuscript to the UH Art & Architecture special collections department. (They made us a copy of it.) It still had Red's phone number in it. I've been trying to find other buildings he did, but haven't had any luck so far. He had alot of interesting ideas about building, alot of organic stuff.
