One of the few truly visionary architects of large-scale
commissions working today, Thom Mayne s influential firm Morphosis,
founded in the early 1970s, has maintained an avant-garde presence
among contemporary architecture firms, even as it has garnered
high-profile, big-budget commissions from around the world. Since
Rizzoli published Volume I of the Morphosis series in 1989, the Los
Angeles based firm has continued to push its intricate modernism
into new territories. In the tradition of its four visually
groundbreaking predecessors, this fifth volume packs 500
illustrations into a comprehensive tour of Morphosis s activity.
New works covered in Volume V include Cal Trans Headquarters in Los
Angeles (2004); the San Francisco Federal Office building (2006);
the Wayne L. Morse United States Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon
(2006); and the University of Cincinnati Student Recreation Center
(2006). Projects in progress, such as the New Academic Building for
the Cooper Union in New York (expected completion 2008) and the
Phare Tower for La Defense, France (2012), will also be featured.
