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.

This review is from: Residential Work: Anthony Ames Architect (v. 2) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent second volume on the work of Anthony Ames, a terrific architect who has maintained both a highly disciplined vocabulary and a delightful sense of humor. The book is a first rate representation of the level of detail also exhibited in his design work. The graphics are excellent, the text is thoughtful and clear, devoid of quasi-intellectual mumbo jumbo. I admire his work, and I often browse through the book for inspiration and a reminder of what can be accomplished through diligent adherence to one's convictions.
