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.
