Description: Site visit: July 24

This year’s design charrette, Awakening Willow Waterhole, will take place on Saturday, August 7 at the Rice School of Architecture. The competition will focus on maximizing the potential of the Willow Waterhole Greenway Project, a 279-acre greenspace featuring six detention lakes designed to reduce flooding along Brays Bayou. Participants will draft designs to transform the park from a disjointed neighborhood space into a more cohesive, natural community space. The charrette will conceptualize measures to make the park a more sophisticated nature preserve, while maintaining characteristics that make the park a welcoming area for various forms of wildlife. Application available on the RDA website. Rice University College of Architecture is located in Anderson Hall (Building 4), 6100 Main Street (Off Entrance 1).
