Julia Casbarian ’20 photographed Rice campus landmarks and layered them with historical images of the same locations. The resulting images show “how Rice has both changed and remained the same since its founding.” Her project, “Re/Rice: A Visual Experiment,” was completed for a class that was co-taught by Adrian Lenardic, professor of Earth, environmental and planetary sciences, and Geoff Winningham ’65, the Lynette S. Autrey Professor of Humanities.
