Did you know John Wayne owned a ranch in Arizona? Have you heard
the story of the first ever World Champion All Around Cowboy, Earl
Thode? Have you heard the story about "Cundo," who is in a
wheelchair during the week then competes in roping competitions

thirty other Southwesterners, who have each accomplished great
things in their own special way.
Over the course of a career spanning more than fifty years,
Seattle-based architect Jim Olson, of Olson Kundig, has made his
name designing a broad range of buildings that sensitively respond
to their environment. Initially drawing from his close connection
to the nature and culture of the Pacific Northwest, he has
attracted an international reputation for designing houses for art
collectors around the world. Considered together, his buildings
reveal an exceptional interplay between art, light, nature, craft
and architecture, which can be experienced in a range of projects
that span the globe, from Mexico to South-East Asia. This complete
overview of many decades of carefully considered buildings begins
with an extended essay by Aaron Betsky, who considers the intimate
relationship between Olson's natural surroundings and love of art
and his design process over the course of his career. This is
followed by a selection of twenty-eight of Olson's recent projects,
interspersed with private sketches and his reflections on
architecture and the creative process. The final reference section
includes an extensive illustrated chronology of the architect's
entire corpus.
