Lifetime Achievement Award

Thom Mayne, FAIA Emeritus, is such an entity onto himself that seems impossible to say he is synonymous with anything else, except, perhaps, Lifetime Achievement.

Over his five-decade career, the Pritzker Prize recipient has shaped the field of architecture through his work with his firm Morphosis, his own artistic and urban research, and as an educator at institutions worldwide. Beginning from his earliest projects designing alley houses in Venice, California, Mayne has pushed the traditional boundaries of design to impact the way the industry thinks about performance, contextuality, representation, technology, and authorship.
