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.

SUMMARY:Sally Walsh Lecture Series - Lee F. Mindel\, FAIA
DESCRIPTION:Architect Lee F. Mindel FAIA\, Principal and Co-Founder of SheltonMindel presents a lecture on “Integration of Architecture and Interior Design”.  \nSheltonMindel is one of the top American interpreters of classic modernism in the industry today. Guided by principles of light\, nature and simplicity\, SheltonMindel’s renowned designs and creations focus on simple construction\, organic shapes and unity of materials. From stand-alone residences to corporate interiors and furniture and product design\, the firm’s work illustrates the modern tenet that\, as Mies van der Rohe stated\, “The space within becomes the reality of the building”. \n \n  \n \nAbout the Speaker\n \nNew York-based architect Lee F. Mindel\, FAIA\, and founding member of SheltonMindel is regarded as one of the top American interpreters of classic modernism in the industry today with over 60 industry awards. Guided by principles of light\, nature and simplicity\, the firm’s designs transcend form and function to become works of art. In 2011\, Mindel was awarded the prestigious Cooper Hewitt National Design Award by First Lady Michelle Obama in the White House\, and in 2021\, was one of the few professionals inducted into the AD100 Hall of Fame for contributions in both categories: Architecture and Interior Design. Mindel regularly appears as a Design Titan on Elle Decor’s A-List\, and in 2024\, was featured in Galerie Magazine’s roundup of Creative Minds for his art and design space\, Galerie56. \nGalerie56 was founded in 2022\, occupying the ground floor of Herzog de Meuron’s much lauded 56 Leonard tower. The AIA award-winning space\, designed by SheltonMindel\, celebrates the intersection of art\, architecture\, and design with a diverse series of exhibitions featuring international artists\, galleries\, and movements. Galerie56 reflects the deep American ethos of inclusion and diversity. \nMindel has served on various AIA committees for 4 years\, and has been a juror of AIA Awards in the Architecture and Interior categories for 3 years. \nMindel received his Master of Architecture from Harvard University in 1976 after obtaining his Bachelor of Arts\, Cum Laude\, with Distinction in Architecture\, at the University of Pennsylvania.  \n \n  \nSally Walsh Lectures are supported by an endowed fund of the Houston Architecture Foundation. \nThe lectures are dedicated to the memory of one of Houston’s most distinguished interior designers\, Sally Walsh\, who brought modern design to Houston and became an inspiration to a whole generation of Houston architects and designers. \nAll Sally Walsh lectures are free and open to the public.
