This is the place in Houston to meet, mingle, and make modern history – everyone wants to keep up with The Jones. Opposite Image : The Jones on Main, Evening View 3 A Historically Hip Houston Landmark A MODERN MASTERPIECE THE JONES circa 1945 WITH A TIMELESS PERSPECTIVE The Jones on Main’s origins date back to 1927, when 712 Main Street was commissioned by legendary Jesse H. Jones – Houston’s business and philanthropic icon – as the Gulf Oil headquarters. The 37-story masterpiece is widely acclaimed, a City of Houston Landmark recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Together with 708 Main Street – acquired by Jones in 1908 – the property comprises an entire city block in Downtown Houston. Distinct and vibrant, The Jones touts a rich history, Art Deco architecture, and famous frescoes – soon to be complemented by a suite of one-of-a-kind, hospitality- inspired amenity spaces.

  • Symmetry, Pattern & Design in Motion Celeste A. Chizer Objective The
    Symmetry, Pattern & Design in Motion Celeste A. Chizer Objective The objective of this unit is to expose students to real life applications of Geometry focusing on symmetry and patterns. In order to achieve this objective, the class will study the downtown skyline of the City of Houston. Several aspects of this unit will incorporate several standards recommended by the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics). Several of the standards that will be incorporated in this unit are: The vision of a reform curriculum is toward a balanced variety of rich problem situations that encourage students to make connections among the various mathematical topics and that reflect cultural diversity. One aspect of this unit is to provide students the opportunity to utilize the world around them to make connections to Math. The downtown skyline of the City of Houston offers numerous opportunities to explore and discover mathematical concepts and procedures. One area of this unit entails a field trip to the downtown area. The field trip will provide students the opportunity to explore many of the shapes and patterns discussed in mathematical textbooks. Shift in the vision of learning mathematics toward investigating, formulating , representing, reasoning and applying a variety of strategies to the solution of problems - then reflecting on these uses of mathematics - and away from being shown or told, memorizing and repeating. It is the intention of this unit that students would be placed in situations to wonder “What If?” and then begin to explore and arrive at a conclusion. Traveling in the downtown area, exploring the Houston’s tunnel system and having the opportunity to redesign the City of Houston skyline will meet this standard.

  • The Fourth Decade of Houston Law Review
    ESSAY THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD: THE FOURTH DECADE OF HOUSTON LAW REVIEW Craig Joyce* & Matthew Hoffman" At the dawn of Houston Law Review's fourth decade, the accomplishments of its predecessor ten years were much in evidence. A relationship with a burgeoning institute that resulted in publishing numerous top-tier national scholars? Check. A logistically proficient and technologically endowed publication process? Check. A generously donated copyright on a widely publicized (and purchased) legal handbook to finance the organization's operations? Check. But would the advance continue? Could HLR grow further? Perhaps even exponentially? Leapin' lizards,'yes! * Andrews Kurth Professor of Law, University of Houston Law Center. To the members of Board 50, Matthew Hoffman and I owe an enormous debt of gratitude. Were it not for the diligent research of Katherine Witty and the genial patience of Board 50's Editor in Chief Peter Danysh, Chief Articles Editor Casey Holder, Managing Editor Cade Mason, and many others, this installment in the telling of Houston Law Review's now four-fifths storied existence could in no way have become, itself, history. Thanks, as ever, to the O'Quinn Law Library: Director Spencer Simons, Associate Director Mon Yin Lung, and Research Librarian Christopher Dykes. Matt and I are also grateful to Justice Jeff Brown, Robert Gonzalez, George May, Alex Roberts, and D'Andra Shu, each of whom was offered the opportunity to review the manuscript but none of whom are responsible for its imperfections as published. The authors also benefitted enormously from the Decade 4 Oral History of Houston Law Review, moderated by Mr.
