Rice Design Alliance, in collaboration with the Rice School of Architecture, the AIA Houston Chapter, and the Architecture Center Houston Foundation, invite you to hear Petra Blaisse present the Annual Sally Walsh Lecture on Wednesday, April 13, 2011.

Blaisse, who will give a talk entitled Shifting Positions, began her career as a freelance designer and won distinction for her installations of architectural work. Gradually her focus shifted to the use of textiles, light, and finishes in interior space and, at the same time, to the design of gardens and landscapes. In 1991, she founded Inside Outside. The studio works in a multitude of creative areas, including textile, landscape, and exhibition design.
