Jiménez, Obamas at Pritzker ceremony

Rice University’s Carlos Jiménez, professor of architecture, gathered
with President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in Chicago last month at
the presentation of this year’s Pritzker Architecture Prize. Jiménez
stepped down from the Pritzker jury this year after 11 years of service
to what is often referred to as “architecture’s Nobel Prize.” In
addition to his work at the Rice School of Architecture, Jiménez has
been recognized for his professional practice, Carlos Jiménez Studio.
The Houston-based office is known for many residential projects as well
as the Central Administration/Junior School Building for the Museum of
Fine Arts in Houston, the W.L.S. Spencer Studio Art Building at Williams
College and Rice University’s Data Center building.
