Unconventional Education at Rice University: Architecture, sports cars and frisbee

The bow tie at his collar is perfect when Will Cannady begins his workday at the Rice School of Architecture (RSA). It doesn't last, as the professor relaxes into a more casual mode. But he stops for nothing.
Cannady has been a professor at Rice for 50 years, a benchmark RSA will recognize with a reception at Anderson Hall from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 14.
In that span of time, the Port Arthur, Texas, native has had a significant impact on RSA and the city of Houston, where his work as an architect is seen and enjoyed in public and private. The public manifestations of Cannady's imagination can be viewed in projects by his firm at Jones Plaza in the heart of the Theater District; in midtown's Lovett Square Condominiums, and in a set of Northern Trust Banks, the first of which stands at 2701 Kirby Drive.

As a parent, I am in awe how Professor Cannady inspires his students. I have not had the pleasure to make his acquaintance, but can attest what a mark he has left on my daughter at Rice! May Professor Cannady continue "his ride" that has benefited generations of budding architects.
