The Art of the Architect

Michael G. Imber is a native Texan who grew-up exploring the unique landscapes of the West and the architecture built by its rugged inhabitants. Michael did his apprenticeship on the East Coast where he worked on projects such as the Deputy Secretary of State's office and the University of Virginia. Michael returned to Texas and formed his own firm over 25 years ago in San Antonio. Today, Michael G. Imber, Architects is internationally known for architecture reflecting landscape and culture. As well as work spanning the U.S., Michael G. Imber, Architects has worked in over a dozen countries. Its projects have ranged from churches and seminaries, colleges, hotels, and town centers to ranches and houses - all a unique reflection of the places in which they are built. Michael's work has been widely published and he was recently named one of 25 'leaders' in a "Who's Who in Traditional Architecture" by Traditional Building Magazine. He was the recipient of the Arthur Ross Award in 2007 for his contribution to civic and traditional architecture, and has won six national Palladio Awards and ten Staub Awards. In 2013, Michael released his first book, Ranches, Villas, and Houses serving as a monograph devoted to his work, and in 2022 was named the Robert A.M. Stern Visiting Professor of Classical Architecture at Yale.
