Thom Mayne, a Los Angeles based architect is the recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which is awarded for a career of achievement in the art of architecture. For Mayne, who founded internationally renowned architectural firm Morphosis in 1972, design begins with a series of questions about the relationship between aesthetics, use, and context. “I’m looking for something that produces alikeness to the idiosyncrasy of the individual, the unpredictable element of human behaviour”, Mayne writes in his 2020 book Strange Networks. Mayne has had a lifetime of dedication to his art practice and research, for him, everything starts with an idea that eventually leads to a complexity of unattainable forms, and with the creation of sculptural paintings had allowed Mayne to explore and execute his vision.
