Must admit, I am a little biased... smashing team with an exceptionally brilliant architectural firm. Thanks so much for this great article.

It was small enough that I got to design it all myself, and Paul Rangel got to do all of the drawing by himself. So much of the structure is expressed instead of buried and is a principal part of the architecture. Tom Phifer’s office wanted the structure to be thin lines of light airy steel and their project architect, Eric Richey, was concerned about every detail down to the shape of the heads and nuts on the bolts. It’s a great space, and open to the public, so you should go by and experience it. I never thought when I was a civil engineering student at Rice that I would have the opportunity to design a feature building on the campus (even if it is small).
