How is a successful career in architecture defined? The AIA Houston Women in Architecture Equity Series hosted a panel to parse this question.

PRISM proudly sponsored this event and appreciated the focus on this topic and hearing from all the speakers.

The Real Estate Roundtable Sentiment Index for Q1 2023 reported increases in the three categories they track – Sentiment, Current, and Future Index. However, respondents cautioned against generalizing trends across industries. For example, multifamily is attracting interest, but Class B office is struggling.
The human retina is responsible for sensing light coming through the eye’s lens and converting it to the electric signals the brain perceives as images. Retina Consultants of Texas is the largest ophthalmology practice in Texas, specifically focused on the retina. They serve their mission to preserve vision with world-class medical and surgical retinal care and cutting-edge research. It is home to the largest retinal research center in the U.S.
The practice just opened their newest clinic, located in San Antonio. Serving as the flagship retina clinic and research center for Retina Consultants of Texas, the project is another example of how PRISM works with clients to positively impact their communities. Houston rendering company PRISM completed multiple marketing renderings. We worked with Harrell Architects to develop photorealistic renderings, bringing their vision to reality.
There’s nothing terrible about the 2’s for Freehill Development Company. In their second year since opening, the developers have five large industrial projects underway in central Texas. The company’s niche is shallow-bay projects catering to smaller tenants. Their next development, scheduled to open in Q3, Freehill Selma is located off IH-35 in northeast San Antonio.
Spring breakers rejoice! The PRISM team and their respective families enjoyed time off from work and school. Deborah went on a Texas safari at the Kalahari Resort. Sarah had a girls’ trip at the Gaylord Texan Resort. Jing attended the SXSW Film & TV Festival to watch the worldwide premiere of The Herricanes. The Houston Herricanes were an all-women, full-tackle, professional football team formed in Houston, during the late 1970s. Jing's friend and architect, Basia Haszlakiewicz, played for all three seasons. Lily enjoyed the great outdoors and wildflowers. And college kids returned to the nest for home cooking and free laundry.
Say hello to our new addition! Mindy Liu recently joined PRISM as a project manager. She’s a Rice University and Iowa State grad with an M. Architecture and B. Architecture, respectively, and interned at HOK in Houston. Clients will love tapping into Mindy’s experience in conceptual design, urban planning, and sustainability. Fun fact: Mindy is nuts about knitting!
Further north, the Commercial Real Estate Association of Montgomery County hosted two officials from City of Magnolia, the Economic Development Director and the City Administrator. Deborah attended and learned about the city’s push to attract more commercial development to the area.
The Greater Northside Management District has much to be proud of. And they did a great job highlighting the area’s growth at their recent Developer Tour. In addition to the neighborhood’s rich history and culture, plenty of new projects and community beautification efforts continue to spur development. Jing attended the tour and enjoyed seeing the two new UH buildings, the Saint Arnold expansion, White Oak Music Hall, and the Houston Farmer’s Market.
