The Eames Primer is special in that it is written by Charles and Ray Eames’ grandaughter. It reveals not only the professional life but only their personal lives, in a way that each illuminates the other.
The book discussed the upbringings of both Charles and Ray, their lives before their marriage, and how their interests and skills were shaped.
The principles and design methodologies of the Eames office were discussed in detail: their ways of working with photography, models, paintings and so on. The Eames house (Case study house #8) is also presented in great details.
