Rice Architecture is pleased to share the news that our own Nathan Friedman and Maggie Tsang have been announced as the winners of the prestigious Architectural League Prize (formerly known as the Young Architect's Forum) announced by the Architectural League of New York. The prizes go to designers whose portfolios have less than ten years in practice and address this year's theme of "Grounding."
“We are so thrilled that Nathan Friedman and Maggie Tsang are this year’s honorees of the Architecture League of New York,” said Igor Marjanović, the William Ward Watkin Dean of Rice Architecture. “Their success is a testament to our school’s success in bringing top faculty talent—a process that is made possible through the deep involvement of my colleagues in all faculty searches. Friedman’s and Tsang’s work on “public architecture” and “grounding” is relevant locally in Houston and also internationally—in Mexico City and further afield. Rice Architecture remains committed to supporting practicing architects in academia, in particular those who push the boundaries of our discipline by working across scales and national borders to pursue topics that are relevant both locally and universally, advancing the shared humanity of our diverse, interconnected world."
