| book description |

Sketches, essays, projects and more from the Houston-based architect and professor Costa Rican American architect Carlos Jiménez (born 1959) pursues scholarship through design—integrating drawing and writing with the making of buildings and architectural spaces. In 1983, he established Houston–based Carlos Jiménez Studio, an innovative design practice that focuses on the endurance and refinement of form and space. Jiménez was a long-term (2001–11) jury member of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. This book is a 35-year journey through Jiménez’s career, exploring the discipline of architecture through practice and teaching, but also through writings, drawings and buildings. A curated collection of his essays, written from 1989 to the present day, reflect on outstanding cities, architects and buildings around the world: from New York to Houston, from Erik Gunnar Asplund to Luis Barragán, and from the Kimbell Art Museum to the Crowley House, among others.
