Summary:
From his first buildings completed in Houston, Texas, in the 1980s and ’90s, which earned him international recognition, Carlos Jiménez’s architecture has evolved to address different scales and programmes. Yet at the same time his vision has maintained an attention to context, interest in typological research, and a pursuit of total complicity with the client. Covering three decades of work, this monograph is illustrated with the architect’s sketches and photographs by Paul Hester. Starting from the Carlos Jiménez Studio, an ongoing project begun in 1983 and also the architect’s professional studio, all of the featured projects are in the United States, with many in Houston.

The dossier of the latest issue of AV Proyectos is dedicated to BIG, the studio established in Copenhagen in 2005 by Bjarke Ingels, the only architect on Time’s list of ‘The 100 Most Influential People’ in 2016. The issue includes BIG’s most recent proposals organized in accordance with the relationship between climate and architecture: from the warmest to the coolest context, just as they appear in the studio’s recent publication 'BIG, Hot to Cold: An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation'. The issue also covers the utopian proposals of the ‘Paper Architects’ Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin, whose oneiric drawings suggest a critical analysis of the austere and rigid character of official Soviet architecture.
