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 DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) where Jones is teaching and many of the team members have matriculated or are studying. Alameda covers all the work done in this location between 2007 and 2013, in 330 densely packed (but artfully designed, by the Afton Klein Design group) pages, including “words, buildings, machines,” as well as projects, competitions, furniture and over forty pages of the firm’s signature graphic production in convenient tear-out sheets of posters, competition boards and other client presentation material. 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. 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.
