The Roost, Olson Kundig’s submission to Rice University’s design competition for a new campus student center, seeks to deliberately blur internal cultural and structural delineations that currently exist on campus. Within this new building, all campus populations—residential colleges, undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff—are intermixed, overlapping in ways that are profoundly new for the university.
