Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. This second volume documenting the residential work of Anthony Ames follows 'Five Houses, ' presenting his continuing airy, minimal work--both built and planned--via sketches, drawings, models and photographs. His beautifully designed structures investigate, thoughtfully and critically, th…e discipline of architecture as practiced in the modern idiom. Ames maintains an architectural practice in Atlanta, Georgia, and spends part of his time in New York City; he graduated from Georgia Tech and the Harvard Graduate School of Design and has taught at 11 universities and lectured at many more: accordingly, his practice ranges across a wide geographic area, whose challenges provide deep insights into the craftsmanship and execution of his progressive design concepts. Ames, a fellow of the American Academy in Rome and of the American Institute of Architects, has received numerous awards and been widely published. This second volume documenting the residential work of Anthony Ames follows Five Houses, the first volume in a series. It records his simple but elegant residential work in both built form and projects, through line drawings, renderings, models and photographs. His carefully designed structures investigate, thoughtfully, critically and didactically, the discipline of architecture as practiced in the modern idiom--informed by precedent, inspired by possibility, and tempered by rational thought. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
