marmer Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 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?marmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they did some McMansions, though some of their big mods look pretty nice.marmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenH Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 And a book! Rational Design.http://www.amazon.com/Rational-Design-Davi...6189&sr=1-2David 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.
