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This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of Texas-based architect Carlos Jiménez and includes unpublished projects such as the competition proposal for the Arrecife's waterfront in Lanzarote, Canary Islands and the Cummins Engine Distributorship Facility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".

Summary:
A box is just a box...unless it's not a box. From mountain to rocket ship, a small rabbit shows that a box will go as far as the imagination allows. Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real—when the imagination takes over inside a cardboard box, and through play, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.

These are the fragments Francis Upritchard has shored against her ruins. Thrift store pots have been remade as canopic urns, ancient Egyptian repositories for the organs of the dead. A gift from a relative, an unwanted wedding present or a memory of a day out, even the tackiest ornament once played a small symbolic function in someone’s life. Now they have been detourned(...)

Summary:
These are the fragments Francis Upritchard has shored against her ruins. Thrift store pots have been remade as canopic urns, ancient Egyptian repositories for the organs of the dead. A gift from a relative, an unwanted wedding present or a memory of a day out, even the tackiest ornament once played a small symbolic function in someone’s life. Now they have been detourned to reveal the underlying purpose of all that frantic personalising and decorating of domestic space, the fabrication of memories to set against death.

In fact, architecture corresponds to a singular mixture of exhibitionism and shame that leads people to try to acquire public renown (and at the same time erase the memory of how they used to make money) by contributing to the construction of the spaces of public life. And while there is no shortage of exhibitionism nowadays...

Summary:
Bertram's exploration of the Turkish house shows how this feature of Ottoman culture took on symbolic meaning in the Turkish imagination as Turkey became more Westernized and secular in the early decades of the twentieth century. She shows how artists, writers, and architects all drew on the memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing notions of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested, revised, or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.
