SUMMARY:HXD Week: Wellness for All
DESCRIPTION:Wellness for All \nFor many architects and designers\, wellness design has been thought of as a remote escape where wealthy people go to become enlightened in body and mind. While this can be a good and beautiful thing\, it neglects much of the population that could benefit from wellness the most. With the current trajectory of the global wellness real estate market growing exponentially year after year\, now is the time for the architectural community to use their creative genius to ensure everyone can reap wellness benefits. Join Erin Nybo\, a health and wellness expert at CannonDesign\, to understand why wellness design is important and how it can be applied to almost any project regardless of market\, size or budget. Folks who attend will learn to: 1. Recognize how wellness design can affect human health. 2. Translate principles of wellness to most design projects regardless of budget. 3. Evaluate the impact of the global wellness economy and why it matters to architects and designers. 4. Understand how wellness fits into different architectural markets and often combines markets. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \n \nErin Nybo’s passion for health and wellness has crafted her professional experience. She has a long history of 17+ years in the planning and design of healthcare facilities with a focus on wellness driven projects. These projects generally include multiple entities and stakeholders from various markets coming together with one goal – to proactively help people mentally and physically be the best they can be. Helping clients to define what health and wellness means for them\, her work is highlighted by her extensive experience in programming and planning\, creating conceptual designs\, interpreting early design and integrating it into all phases of the design process. Erin is currently on the Kansas City Chamber’s Healthy KC Workplace Wellness Action Team and is the founding President of the Heartland Chapter of Women in Healthcare. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nParking Information\nValidated parking in the parking garage. \n

SUMMARY:Iwan Baan: The Notational Surface
DESCRIPTION:Exhibitions at Rice — Houston Archive Project\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture: Wednesday\, September 3\, 2025\, 5:00 p.m.\nOpening Reception: 6:00–8:00 p.m.\nExhibition on View: September 3–October 25\, 2025\nLocation: Exhibitions at Rice\, William T. Cannady Hall\, Rice School of Architecture\nAdmission: Free and open to the public \nThe Rice School of Architecture presents Iwan Baan: The Notational Surface\, a new solo exhibition by the world-renowned Dutch photographer whose work has reshaped how we see cities and the lives they hold. Developed over the past five years for the school’s Houston Archive Project\, the exhibition traces the city from the street to the sky\, offering a layered reading of its infrastructures\, interdependencies\, and environmental precarity. \nInstalled across two floors of Cannady Hall\, the exhibition shifts visitors’ vantage points—from expansive aerial surveys of oil landscapes\, intermodal networks\, and polycentric suburbs. Printed on industrial blue-back affiche paper and suspended at sharp angles\, the photographs create a spatial montage that invites viewers to “read” Houston as an active surface of marks\, flows\, and forces. \nA full-color catalog accompanies the exhibition\, featuring a foreword by William Ward Watkin Dean Igor Marjanović\, and an essay by architect and theorist Clare Lyster\, whose interpretive framework lends the title The Notational Surface. Together\, these texts situate Baan’s images within a broader discourse on representation\, asking how seeing differently might enable more just and imaginative futures. \nLaunched in 2024\, the Houston Archive Project is a curatorial platform for architectural thinking grounded in the specificity of place. By commissioning significant new bodies of work\, the project continues a lineage at the school of photographic inquiry into Houston’s evolving urbanism—work that connects local conditions to planetary systems and publics. \nThis program is made possible through the generous support of the Betty R. and George F. Pierce Jr.\, FAIA\, Fund; the William B. Coleman Jr. Colloquium Fund for Architecture; and the Wm. W. Caudill Lecture Series Fund. \n\nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION \n\nExhibitions at Rice\nAs a curatorial program of the Rice School of Architecture\, Exhibitions at Rice uses the lens of design research to look at the world differently. Mobilizing a full spectrum of architectural representation—including drawing\, imaging\, making\, and prototyping—this program weaves together scholarly inquiry\, visual experimentation\, and public engagement. Across all scales\, from objects to buildings\, cities\, and the planet\, Exhibitions at Rice engages the discipline of architecture as a cultural practice with a civic mandate\, creating new discourses for both local and global audiences.
