We believe fostering architecture and design writing is crucial to the dissemination of ideas and to supporting the improvement of our cities through critical thinking.
Rice Design Alliance produces a series of independent printed and online publications. At its core is Cite: The Architecture + Design Review of Houston, which has been in circulation since 1982, with 101 printed issues of the magazine to date. Cite’s online platform is Cite Digital, formerly OffCite, which has published additional content on urban and design topics since 2008.
Both Cite and Cite Digital feature a wide variety of thought-provoking content, including reviews, architectural news, opinion pieces, interviews, and photo essays, and aim to provide an independent forum for reflection, analysis, and action.
In addition to Cite and Cite Digital, Rice Design Alliance publishes independent editorial projects in collaboration with other cultural and educational organizations from across the globe, as well as with local architects, designers and Rice Architecture faculty.
