Author: Wes Jones
This third volume in the monograph series of work by Jones, Partners: Architecture continues the coverage of the firms “words, buildings, machines,” in the same signature graphic form that made the previous two volumes inspirational collector’s items. 'Alameda' covers all the work done in the firm's new office between 2007 and 2013. The book covers projects, competitions, furniture and includes 40 pages of the firm’s signature graphic production in convenient tear-out sheets. This third volume in the monograph series of work by Jones, Partners: Architecture picks up where the previous volume 'El Segundo' left off. After 10 years in El Segundo the office has relocated near Sciarc in the arts district of Downtown Los Angeles where Jones is teaching and many of the team members have matriculated or are studying. As the title suggests, the spirit of the work continues to be Boss, but this volume also records a new and ongoing exploration of what Jones terms “hard modernism,” which is to architecture what hard cider is to apple juice. This work sees itself as continuing the evolution of the machines for living as mechanisms for contemporary meaning.
