Best Architects in Tempe, AZ

While we love our in-house marketing team, there was no doubt in our minds that Marilu Knode was the best choice to tell our story with the utmost confidence and impact. Having shared a unique milestone in our studio's history as an honorary addition to Family Table #2 in 2006—as then-curator at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA)—she has since witnessed the studio's evolution for nearly two decades.nnWriting this book was a herculean effort. Marilu devoured our favorite architectural books and studied the buildings, architects, and artists that inspire us. She interviewed every Jones Studio family member and toured numerous projects representing our studio's values and growth as architects over the last 44 years. In STRIVE, she masterfully frames the Jones Studio oeuvre in the context of the environmental, social, and political conditions in which we design and contemplates our firm's future endeavors by asking what fearlessness looks like in today's cultural atmosphere.nnSTRIVE is comprised of an introduction and text written by Marilu Knode, a foreword by Marlon Blackwell, and edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda. The book is available for order now at the link in our bio.
