Last night, WiA celebrated a remarkable year at their End-of-Year Celebration and Scholarship Reception. Highlights included the launch of the Professional Development Fund, the 10th anniversary of the WiA Exhibit, and two new annual scholarships—showcasing the powerful impact of women in architecture and design across Southeast Texas.
As we close out 2024, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our dedicated team members, trusted consultants, and loyal clients. Your commitment and support have been the foundation of everything we’ve achieved this year. We are incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in Prism Renderings, and we're excited about the brighter journey ahead in 2025.
The journey of building or renovating a church is as much about faith and community as it is about brick and mortar. A memorable line from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring reminds us, “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” This sentiment rings true for congregations embarking on capital campaigns to fund their vision. Whether it’s a new campus, a renovation, or an expansion, these efforts rely on uniting a community around a shared goal. PRISM has had the honor of working with many congregations over the years, providing renderings and animations that inspire and inform during their capital campaigns. View our past projects and see how we’ve helped bring these visions to life.
This year has been one of incredible growth and collaboration, thanks to our dedicated team, valued clients, and trusted partners. Your support and commitment have been the driving force behind everything we’ve accomplished.
As the holiday season brings reflection and gratitude, we’re looking back at one of the meaningful church projects we had the privilege of contributing to. Second Baptist, one of the largest congregations in the nation, partnered with Kirksey Architecture years ago to expand its reach into the growing suburbs of Cypress and Cinco Ranch. The result: two dynamic, expansive campuses designed to engage and connect with their communities.
The ULI Houston Young Leaders Holiday Party took guests back to the roaring 1920s at the iconic Esperson Building in downtown Houston. Guests were encouraged to step out in their finest cocktail attire, embracing the glitz and glamour of the era. A special thank you to Ashlyn Wooten for organizing the event and Samy Soussan for securing the perfect venue. With lively energy and festive fun, it was a night to remember!
We had a wonderful time celebrating the holiday season with Hines College alumni and faculty at Lawless Spirits & Kitchen. As a proud M.Arch graduate, Jing cherished reconnecting with the Cougar community. The evening was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and festive cheer, highlighted by Dean Patricia Belton Oliver’s tribute to Linda Silva for her nearly two decades of dedication. It was a memorable start to the holidays!
Thanksgiving brings the opportunity to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for the people and experiences that shape our lives. For centuries, it has symbolized community, collaboration, and the power of shared vision—values that resonate deeply in our industry.
As we embrace the season of giving thanks and inch closer to the end of the year, I’m filled with gratitude—for our clients, partners, team, the lessons we’ve learned, and the exciting opportunities ahead. Your trust, collaboration, and dedication continue to inspire and drive us forward.
Jing enjoyed attending the Perkins&Will San Antonio Office Celebration at Stable Hall in the vibrant Pearl District. It was a fantastic event, reconnecting with her former Houston colleagues and meeting the dynamic San Antonio team. Congrats to Adrianna Swindle, AIA, IIDA, LEED AP, on leading this stunning new studio—wishing you and your team great success!
