Watch out for this 61 year old "Maverick Architect!"
ps: I don't like morphosis

here, here. morphosis, shmorphosis.
i was asked by one of my reporter friends: "I'm curious to hear from John on the high school design that won the big prize..."
my response: "well first of all, an architect wins the pritzker for a body of work - not one particular building. it's kind of a lifetime achievement award. that said, like most students, i went through a morphosis (that's the name of thom mayne's - this year's model - firm) phase in college but it quickly passed. and especially since i've been practicing pretend architecture for a living, i've not had much use for mayne. i'm an urbanist, and his is a very suburban style. i'm not going to deny his importance - especially in architectural education - but most of his designs leave me cold."
frankly, i was just pleased my opionion was solicited at all.
