Abstract
Thom Mayne founded Morphosis in 1972 as a collective architectural practice engaged in crossdisciplinary research and design; today, the firm is based in Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai,
with projects built world-wide. Framing his lecture at Georgia Tech against this backdrop, Thom will
trace the development of some of the major themes and interests that have defined Morphosis over
forty years of practice, from their emergence in early Morphosis projects and explorations, to their
realization in the diverse scales and project types that make up the firm's current work. In each
project, an examination of the built form reveals how the design process begins with and shaped by
the specific questions we choose to acknowledge in our own investigation.
