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.

Summary:
In this thematic issue, the comparative examination of houses arranged in pairs permits detecting common features and specific characteristics that link the plural of an associated type with the singular of an extraordinary home. According to editor Luis Fernández-Galiano, “It is an effort perhaps similar to that of defining the genotype of an organism eluding the infinite variety of phenotypes, simplified here by the use of only two structures, arranged in marriages of convenience because in effect they have a common interest”.

Summary:
The Barcelona-based studio Harquitectes is a model in its ability to provide value to public or private clients, in its responsibility when intervening in heritage buildings or urban environments, and in its determination to pursue sustainability in terms of energy, waste, or the life cycle of materials, issues which they address with unique thermodynamic sophistication. Besides exhibiting smart design and construction, their buildings are also aesthetically sophisticated in the use of basic materials and economical in their budgetary discipline. This special overview features twelve local Barcelona projects (“experiences”): designs for living, education, research, and civic functions.
