“The traditional Ames Room is a room that appears uniform and square, yet in actuality is an asymmetrically framed distortion of space. This typology was invented by Adelbert Ames, Jr. in 1934, who made contributions to physics, physiology, ophthalmology, psychology, and philosophy. When viewed from the frontal plane, the typical walls in an Ames Room will appear parallel and perpendicular to a level floor and ceiling. However, the room’s singular perspective view optically conceals the true shape of the architecture. As a result of a translational ‘glitch’ between perception and reality, two people of similar size will appear diametrically smaller and larger depending on their position in the space. “ Thom Faulders
