John Houser

I told you all yesterday in class about John Houser, one of my favorite Texas Tech students.  he's up in Boston working for Office dA there.  Go look at the homepage for the office and check out the string models there.

John started as an industrial engineering student.  He took my 101 class when he was thinking about changing majors.  He jumped into studio after that.  In his second year John "Parked a Car" at the entrance of the architecture building.  He has never been officially charged with the event.


We went to Montréal for Summer Study Abroad.  He got a view of his site by flying a kite over it.  Marti, who you will meet later in this semester, is the person behind him in the video.
The Farm Machine I mentioned in class is HERE.


He went to graduate school at Princeton.  Now he's working in Boston.  He wants to go home to Texas and have his own practice in Austin.
