Thom Mayne founded Morphosis in 1972 as a collective practice engaged in architecture, urban planning, and design. Working globally with projects built in over 20 countries, his work represents a wide variety of scales and typologies, from residential, institutional and civic buildings to large urban planning projects. Mayne cofounded the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in 1972. He has held teaching positions at UCLA, Columbia, Yale, the Harvard GSD, the Bartlett School of Architecture and many other institutions. He co-heads the NOW Institute, a division of Morphosis that collaborates with communities, cities, and academic institutions to research and enhance urban environments. Morphosis has been the subject of various exhibitions, including a solo show at Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2006. MoMA, SFMOMA, Victoria and Albert Museum, The Chicago Art Institute, The FRAC Centre, The Tchoban Foundation Museum für Architekturzeichnung, among others, hold Mayne’s artwork produced over the course of his 50 year-long career. In 2020, he published Strange Networks (Rizzoli), a monograph highlighting his exploration of combinatory systems.
