Skyspace gladly received
As part of the Vision for the Second Century, President David Leebron recommended the addition of creative, memorable and impressive art onto Rice's campus, a way of expanding the aesthetic and vibrant aspects of a campus that is relatively lacking, at least compared to peer institutions. Now, with the donation from Suzanne Booth (Hanszen '77), this part of the V2C will see its first major thrust (see story, page 9).Since design specifications are not yet available, we cannot fully throw our weight behind the proposed skyspace. However, from the descriptions made available, we are thoroughly enamored with imagining watching the LED light shows as the Houston sun sets behind Fondren library. James Turrell is a highly-accomplished artist, and we are thrilled that he has selected Rice as his next canvas.
