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This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of Texas-based architect Carlos Jiménez and includes unpublished projects such as the competition proposal for the Arrecife's waterfront in Lanzarote, Canary Islands and the Cummins Engine Distributorship Facility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

Résumé:
In recent years the Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron have seen several major competitions judged in their favor. Their museum to house the Goetz art collection in Munich, as well as projects to convert new exhibition space for the Tate Gallery in London and redesign the Hypobank quarter of Munich's inner city have earned international acclaim. Now this multi-volume Birkhäuser edition is tracing the development of their complete work. Published out of sequence, Volume 2 is the first of this set to appear and spans the years 1989 1991. Included among its 32 projects are the well-known copper-clad signal box and locomotive depot, the repository for the Goetz art collection, the campus dormitory at the University of Dijon, and the Pfaffenholz sports center in St. Louis. Their approach to the building envelope, for all of its sobriety, evidences a richness not normally associated with the leading proponents of the new Swiss architecture. Lessons from early experimentation with imprinted glass and concrete have been adapted for many of their new buildings. Building envelopes, such as for the Cultural Center in Blois, are conceived as "information skins." At the same time, a fastidious examination of the site leads to a critical dialogue with the city. The urban analyses emerging from the large-scale study, "Basel, a City in the Making?", but also the work on the master plans for the university campus at Dijon and the town sector of Sils Cuncas in the upper Engadine form a focal point in this volume.
