Description
One of the few truly visionary architects of large-scale commissions working today, Thom Mayne won the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize, his field's most prestigious award. Mayne's influential Los Angeles-based firm Morphosis, founded in the early 1970s, has maintained an avant-garde presence among contemporary architecture firms even as it has garnered high-profile, big-budget commissions around the world. This fourth volume detailing the firm's work packs 575 illustrations into its tour of Morphosis's activity at the turn of the twenty-first century. 38 new works are covered, including the monolithic Cal Trans Headquarters in Los Angeles, housing designed for New York's 2012 Olympics bid, the San Francisco Federal Office Building, the NOOA Satellite Operations Facility, and major housing projects in Toronto and Shanghai constructed of glass and high-tech materials, demonstrating the appealingly iconoclastic modernism of Thom Mayne and Morphosis. The photography, CGIs and plans are all of high quality - this is a most appealing tome.
