Houston Design Research Grant 2020 Faculty category winner Rice University alumnus De Peter Yi (M.Arch. ‘14), Lecturer, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, will discuss his proposal, which addresses issues of inequality and affordability in housing.

The goal of the Houston Design Research Grant is to promote research on Houston-specific urban conditions that need urgent attention and that can make a significant contribution to the Houston community through quality design-thinking.

Each 2020 grantee category, including the Honorable Mention, was awarded with a $6,000 grant to further the work on their proposals. All three grantee projects will be published in Cite magazine.

The Houston Design Research Grant is made possible thanks to a generous gift from The Mitsui U.S.A. Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.), Inc. (“Mitsui USA”).

The Honorable Mention 2020 is made possible thanks to the generosity and vision of Carrie A. and Jonathan H. Brinsden
