Cupola of Jeweler's Building & JAHN offices

Mr. Gonzalez-Pulido has graciously offered to host the event in the exclusive Cupola of JAHN offices, not open to the public. Housed in the landmarked former Jewelers Building, JAHN is an architectural firm with an emphasis on sustainability and creating high-performing buildings. The building's cupola, once the infamous private speakeasy of Al Capone known as the Stratosphere Lounge, boasts dramatic 360-degree views of the heart of downtown. This room is now exclusively used by JAHN for private meetings, to showcase work, and to entertain dignitaries and guests from around the world. Take a caged, circular elevator up to the breathtaking cupola.

Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido, GSD'99, shares design leadership of the firm’s work with the internationally acclaimed architect Helmut Jahn. In his approach, Gonzalez-Pulido strives for minimizing building design to the essentials, so logic, lightness and performance prevail. He approaches each project with the belief that the architectural and engineering ideas and principles are equal in challenging and ultimately transforming a place or an experience.

He currently holds a degree in architecture from ITESM (Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education) and a Master’s degree from Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

With more than fifteen years with the firm, Gonzalez-Pulido has won recognition for his efforts, including being named one of the Ten Most Promising Mexican Architects by OBRAS magazine. Gonzalez-Pulido has lectured at universities, museums and architectural forums in Mexico, Spain, Korea and the United States. He co-taught an integrated design studio with Werner Sobek at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture in Chicago.

This event is co-sponsored by HCC and HBSCC.
