- Thom Mayne founded Morphosis in 1972 as a collective practice of architecture, urbanism and design, rooted in rigorous research and innovation. Working globally across a broad range of project types and scales, Morphosis is recognized for its innovative and sustainable designs for cultural, civic and academic institutions, including the Bloomberg Center at Cornell Tech, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and 41 Cooper Square, the academic building for The Cooper Union.
Throughout his career, Mayne has remained active in education and academia. In 1972, he helped to establish the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc). There has always been a symbiotic relationship between Mayne’s teaching and practice, evidenced in his concurrent position as Executive Director of the Now Institute, Morphosis’ research arm that collaborates with academic institutions to create design-based solutions for the pressing issues of the day, from mobility, urban revitalization, and sustainability, to public policy, planning, and community outreach. Mayne’s distinguished honors include the Pritzker Prize (2005) and the AIA Gold Medal (2013). With Morphosis, Thom Mayne has been the recipient of 29 Progressive Architecture Awards, over 120 American Institute of Architecture Awards and numerous other design recognitions.
Thom Mayne’s presentation for Morphosis was one of four finalist presentations (and the selected firm) for the architectural competition to design the new building for the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas. This video is of his June 2007 presentation for that competition. The other three competition presentations by Shigeru Ban Architects, Polshek Partnership (now Ennead Architects), and Snohetta are also available on The Forum’s UA-cam channel.
