This year's Rice Design Alliance's design charrette, "People, Places and Promenades," will focus on creating a master plan for the Museum Park Super Neighborhood. Our Neighborhood is home to eighteen museums, including The MFA,H and Houston Museum of Natural Science, five churches, several preschools, MacGregor Elementary School, Park Plaza Hospital, Baylor Outpatient, Hermann Park, the little train, Hermann Park Golf Course, and the Houston Zoo.

Thanks to the hard work of Kathleen O'Reilly and the Beautification Committee talented teams of designers from Houston and the nation will spend August 4 designing solutions for the continuing growth in our neighborhood, including ways to help ease vehicle and pedestrian traffic.  Winning entries will be announced August 6.

Please see the complete invitation from RDA below along with the application for those talented designers among the ranks of the MPNA who might wish to participate.
