Sarah Whiting and Ron Witte, principals of WW, an architecture firm in Houston, spoke Feb. 18 in Preston Geren Auditorium as part of the Department of Architecture’s Spring 2010 Lecture Series.
Whiting, an expert in urban and architectural theory, is dean of the School of Architecture at Rice University, where Witte also serves as associate professor of architecture.
Before coming to Rice, Whiting served on the faculty of the Princeton University School of Architecture. Perhaps best known for her professional criticism, Whiting has had dozens of articles published on urban and architectural theory.
In March 2010, Witte will serve as the Herbert Greenwald Visiting Critic at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Architecture. He has participated in numerous international architectural projects, including work with the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam, Reid & Tarics in San Francisco, and Jacques Couëlle in Paris.
