He embraces an empirical approach to design\, rooted in collaboration\, interdisciplinary applied research and careful consideration of place\, context\, history and climate.  His project work is expressive\, driven by conceptual clarity and inspired by the natural world.  He specializes in complex\, healthy\, and ecologically sensitive designs for institutional\, civic and large-scale mixed-use projects in the United States and around the world.\n\nRyan is committed to elevating the design culture and discourse among his teams and building collaborative ties between academia and his practice.  A frequent lecturer and guest studio critic at design programs around the country\, including the University of Michigan\, Auburn University\, Columbia University and Harvard University\, Ryan is a dedicated advocate and teacher for future generations of young designers.  Ryan received his Bachelor of Arts from Brown University and his Master in Architecture from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.\n \n \nSeanna Walsh\, RA\nProject Leader\nStudio Gang \nArchitect Seanna Walsh is a Project Leader in Studio Gang’s Chicago office. Energized by the expression of building systems that respond to environmental\, social\, and site conditions to create new types of architecture\, Seanna has over 15 years of experience leading design teams for a diverse range of projects across the US\, Europe\, and Asia. At Studio Gang\, she has worked on the St. Regis Chicago; a mixed-use\, high-rise tower in Paris; and urban planning projects throughout the US. Her current projects include commercial and residential buildings that will become part of a highly sustainable\, live-work neighborhood in Silicon Valley. Seanna has served as a lecturer and guest studio critic at leading institutions\, including the Illinois Institute of Technology\, Syracuse University\, Auburn University\, and the University of Illinois Chicago. She was recognized by Bisnow’s Chicago Women Leading Real Estate as a 2024 Rising Star Honoree. \nSeanna received her Bachelor of Arts degree at Tufts University. During her undergraduate studies\, she engaged in a year of architectural formation at the Sorbonne Université in Paris. Her studies there included research about immigrant communities in the neighborhoods and banlieues of Paris. This work led into an undergraduate thesis on post-colonial architecture in Northern Africa and beyond\, a study that continues to inform and impact the way that Seanna approaches design in cultural contexts different from her own. She received her Master in Architecture from Rice University\, where her thesis explored spaces for community engagement across the widely varying urban fabric of Houston’s residential neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Kayak Tour of the Galveston Bay Estuary
DESCRIPTION:Kayak Tour of the Galveston Bay Estuary\, a guided kayak tour about the range of salinity levels and corresponding plant communities in the salt marshes of Galveston Bay at Galveston Island State Park. Plants signal ecosystem conditions; they exist on long timescales and big geographies\, making them quiet messengers of changes in our environment. Led by Falon Mihalic and a State Park Ecologist\, the kayak tour gives a view into the environs of our estuary and its unique role in making Houston a biodiversity hotspot. \nWhat’s Included: \n\nFree gear (kayak\, paddle\, life jacket)\nSafety + paddling intro\nGuided 1.5-hour trip over seagrass beds and shallow bay waters\nEnvironmental education with a trained guide\nSmall group experience (under 17 people)\n\nKnow Before You Go: \n\nAges 13+ only\nPark entry fee required\nIt’s very important to wear close-toed shoes. We are in the land of oysters\, stingrays\, and submerged archaeological sites.  \nMax 4 people per reservation\nExpect to get a little wet\, salty\, or muddy—pack accordingly!\nSuggested weight limit: 250 lbs\nPlease complete and bring this waiver with you.\n\nLocation:\nThe group will meet up at Galveston Island State Park’s Horseshoe Pond\, which is listed as Point of Interest Number 2 on the trail map\n\nSpace is limited. If you register and need to cancel\, please let us know 48 hrs. in advance so we can open the space to others.  \nExhibition and programming sponsors:\nVerdant Laboratory is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance; REES and Houston Architecture Foundation. \nProgramming Partners\nASLA Texas\, H/GC Section; Texas Parks & Wildlife. \nThis event is approved\n1.5 AIA LU\n1.5 LA CES HSW \n\nAbout \nFalon Mihalic is a sculptor and landscape architect who began making art with watercolor paintings in 2007.
