Summary:
The Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie School Historic District in suburban Oak Park, Illinois is home to a remarkable collection of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century residential architecture. Within this seventy-eight block district lies the world's greatest concentration of residences designed by Prairie School architects. It includes twenty-six Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, as well as more than sixty buildings designed by members of the Prairie School, all of which are documented in this new guide. Internationally famous as the birthplace of the Prairie style, Oak Park is less well-known for other historically significant types of well-preserved architecture, ranging from the simple farm houses of its early settlers to the grand estates of Chicago's industrial giants. In addition to their architectural merit, these structures provide an important context for understanding and appreciating the work of the Prairie School. The district as a whole encapsulates the major trends in residential American architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This guide to Oak Park's Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie School Historic District includes five walking tours of this architecturally fascinating area. It features 118 structures, an illustrated guide to architectural styles, architects' biographies, and detailed maps. With well over a hundred black and white photographs, this elegantly produced guide is an indispensable reference. "A Guide to Oak Park's Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie School Historic District" was produced by the Oak Park Historic Preservation Committee.

Summary:
Architect of the Broadway Chambers Building, the US Custom House, the Minnesota State Capitol, the St. Louis Art Museum, and large-scale projects like the city plan for New Haven, Connecticut, Gilbert is most famous for his skyscrapers - "symbols of our national genius and unrestraint" - monuments of the Beaux Arts "City Beautiful" aesthetic he embraced throughout his career. Containing essays by major Gilbert scholars, Inventing the Skyline documents fascinating details about the buildings: the color scheme of the main entrance of the Minnesota State Capitol, made to resemble the Byzantine tomb of Galla Placidia in Ravenna; the controversy that erupted over the use of female nudes on the relief of the Essex County Courthouse; and the ill-fated plans for the George Washington Bridge as a Beaux Arts monument with elaborate plazas, fountains, and sculptures.

Summary:
This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of Texas-based architect Carlos Jiménez and includes unpublished projects such as the competition proposal for the Arrecife's waterfront in Lanzarote, Canary Islands and the Cummins Engine Distributorship Facility Prototypes. The architectural practice of Carlos Jiménez now spans almost twenty years, and yet it is still a young practice by a young architect. Jiménez began to build the moment he finished school; his buildings have gathered their meaning in use and simple presence. "Buildings bleed," says Jiménez; their meaning is evolutionary and they acquire content in every context they partake in. The introduction by Michael Bell titled "Houston, Texas and the Architecture of Carlos Jiménez", analyzes how the architect's practice has made use of given conditions, sites and intellectual histories, showing that the multi-faceted depth of Jiménez's practice is in large part due to his diligent and empathetic care for the milieu that he works within. This publication presents fourteen recent works and projects with abundant graphic and photographic documentation. The introduction by Luis Fernández-Galiano weaves biographical insights with Jiménez's lyrical and personal architectural language, emphasizing the importance of memory in his work. The 'Nexus' section includes a text by Carlos Jiménez titled "Memory, a City, and the Need for Poetry".
