The latest issue of Rice Design Alliance's Cite magazine is now available!
Cite 102 includes major contributions from guest editors Ajay Manthripragada and Piergianna Mazzocca. Their investigation centers on the question "What does it mean to be of one's own time?" They gather a community of like-minded thinkers who help establish a critical distance with which we can understand our time. Additional content extends this question to events and people in Houston, both historically and in the intense past year - including HRDD’s Heather Rowell who speaks with Wonne Ickx of PRODUCTORA about the upcoming headquarters for the Houston Endowment.
The printed version of Cite has a new look: the publication has been redesigned by MG&Co., led by Reto Geiser, associate professor and director of undergraduate studies at Rice Architecture.
Cite is available for purchase here, and the magazine is free to members of Rice Design Alliance.

Cite’s editorial apparatus—nearly forty years young—continues its work in Houston in part through its steady presence on the RDA website. Articles about current events, reviews, interviews, histories and photo essays are all regular features that will coexist with Cite’s annual print issue moving forward. The power of the written word remains important in a city with so much construction and demolition, and so few outlets for critical engagement. Criticism absorbed through the immediacy of the screen is just as valid as when it is consumed through the permanence of paper.
— Jack Murphy, Cite editor
