关于建筑师更多信息：

约翰·詹姆斯1931年出生于伦敦，当他的母亲特里·斯蒂芬斯·詹姆斯和父亲，R. Haughton ('Jimmy') James，一位著名的设计师，漫画家和作家，于1939年移民到悉尼时来到澳大利亚。后来，他的家人搬到墨尔本，约翰在墨尔本大学学习建筑，并于1953年取得了本科 degree。

他的父亲，R. Haughton James，在墨尔本的艺术和设计界非常活跃，并委托著名墨尔本建筑师罗宾·贝oyd为家庭在Kew郊区设计房子。这座多层住宅于1957年完成，配有俯瞰雅拉河山谷的落地到天花板的大胆玻璃。尽管此时约翰·詹姆斯已经在新南威尔士州的Roseville成立了属于自己的建筑事务所，但他对贝oyd的作品以及备受赞誉的'Jimmy James House'委托（如今被称为）非常熟悉。

在大学毕业后出国旅行一段时间后，詹姆斯在新南威尔士州注册为建筑师，并在1957年6月的《建筑评论》上宣布了他的事务所的成立，并在1959-1960年间为他的新事务所增加了几名员工。

在成立自己的事务所几年后，约翰·詹姆斯发展了一种Domestic Architecture，其特点是结构的清晰性，经常暴露内部屋顶梁（通常染成或涂成深色调）坐在内部木质柱子上，这些柱子也固定了地板梁。

这种 post-and-lintel 木结构具有简单性，使建筑师能够将他们的创造力集中在探索室内关系，场响应式屋顶计划和窗户位置上。一种简单的建设方法，涉及使用垂直和水平元素。垂直支撑水平，创造了一个建筑的一层。模块化 post-and-lintel 系统的质量，结构的易用性和实用性也使其适应场调整计划和外部甲板。

几年后，他与 P.V. Perumal 成立了合伙企业，后来成立了一家名为 J. James, Perumal and Partners Architects 的公司。尽管该公司继续作为 Perumal Pedavoli Architects 执业，但他于1969-1970年离开了该公司。詹姆斯在1985年之后继续在蓝山设计住宅，同时在UNSW攻读博士学位（关于夏特尔大教堂）并于1988年获得。

约翰·詹姆斯特别被认为是法国哥特式建筑历史方面的领先学者。从他作为学生时在墨尔本大学研究墨尔本的地段住宅开始，詹姆斯还广泛地写作并被誉为美国建筑师学会2005年对于法国中世纪大教堂工作方面的协作成就。他获得了许多奖项，最近的是2008年获得的澳大利亚勋章（OAM）'对于建筑界的服务'作为从业者，教育者和历史学家。

More about the Architect:

John James was born in London in 1931 arriving in Australia when his mother 'Terry' Stephens James and his father, R. Haughton ('Jimmy') James, a celebrated designer, cartoonist and writer, immigrated to Sydney in 1939. The family later moved to Melbourne where John studied architecture at the University of Melbourne taking his undergraduate degree in 1953.

His father, R. Haughton James was actively engaged in Melbourne's art and design community and commissioned the noted Melbourne architect, Robin Boyd to design the family house in the suburb of Kew. The multi-level residence was completed in 1957 with floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the Yarra River valley. While John James had founded his own architectural practice in Roseville NSW by this time, he would have been well versed in Boyd's work and the celebrated 'Jimmy James House' commission (as it is known today).

On his return from overseas travel after graduation from university, James registered as an architect in NSW and announced the commencement of his practice in the Architecture Bulletin in June 1957, adding several staff to his new practice in 1959-1960.

Within years of establishing his practice, John James had developed a domestic architecture that featured clarity of structure that often exposed internal roof rafters (often stained or painted in dark hues) sitting on internal timber columns that also anchored the floor joists.

This post-and-lintel timber construction has a simplicity that allows an architect to focus their creative energies toward exploring interior relationships, site-responsive roof plans and window placements. A simple method of construction involving the use of vertical and horizontal elements. The verticals support the horizontals, creating one storey of a building. The modular quality of the post-and-lintel system, the ease and utility of the structure also lends itself to site-adjusted planning and external decking.

Some years later, he formed a partnership with P.V. Perumal, later forming a company J. James, Perumal and Partners Architects. While the firm continues to practice as Perumal Pedavoli Architects, he left the firm in 1969-1970. James continued to design domestic houses in the Blue Mountains after 1985 while working on his Doctorate (on Chartres Cathedral) at the University of NSW, awarded in 1988.

John James is particularly recognized as a leading scholar on French Gothic architectural history. Beginning with his Melbourne University study of terrace housing in Melbourne as a student, James has also written widely and in 2005 he was honoured by the American Institute of Architects for Collaborative Achievement for his work on French medieval cathedrals. He has been the recipient of many awards, most recently, a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2008 'for service to architecture' as a practitioner, educator and historian.
