Join us for a special, end of run celebration of Taft Architects' The Order of Place: A Collaborative Process exhibition at the Rice School of Architecture.
Before the show officially closes on May 30th, we are opening the gallery for an informal early weekend happy hour and a guided tour led by John J. Casbarian and Danny Samuels. They will personally lead a walkthrough of their gallery, offering insider insights into the exhibition's curation, architecture and their practice’s storied history.
This casual gathering is a wonderful opportunity to connect and experience this remarkable body of work one last time together.
This exhibition, a reflection on over fifty years of work, is designed in two parts. The first is a formal documentation of fifteen projects grouped into three specific ordering systems or typologies, centroidal, planar/field and hybrid aggregation. The second part is loosely structured around the design process and the historical evolution of the practice.
Exhibitions at Rice
As 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.
