PREMIO PRITZKER 2005:
ARQ. THOM MAYNE (*)

Este premio el equivalente al “premio Nóbel de la
arquitectura” y ha sido otorgado en 2005 al
californiano Thom Mayne, conocido en algunos
medios como 'el chico malo' de la arquitectura y
recientemente seleccionado para diseñar la Villa
Olímpica de Nueva York, ha ganado el premio
Pritzker.
Nacido en 1944, Thom Mayne, fundador de

'Morphosis' -estudio que creó en Los Angeles en 1972
y en el que actualmente trabajan cuarenta
arquitectos y diseñadores- es 'un producto de los
turbulentos años sesenta que ha llevado su actitud rebelde y su ferviente deseo de
cambio a la práctica' en una 'larga lista de proyectos' que 'están sólo empezando a
hacerse visibles', según ha destacado el jurado del premio.
En su veredicto, el jurado señala que el arquitecto, miembro de la Academia

Americana de las Artes y las Letras desde 1992, “continúa explorando y buscando
nuevas formas de hacer los edificios útiles y excitantes” y que “usa el arte y la
tecnología de hoy para crear un estilo dinámico”.
El propósito del premio de arquitectura Pritzker es honrar anualmente a un

arquitecto vivo cuyo trabajo construido demuestre una combinación de esas
cualidades de talento, de visión y de comisión, que haya producido contribuciones
constantes y significativas a la humanidad y al ambiente construido con el arte de
la arquitectura.
Los premios Pritzker fueron creados por la familia Pritzker debido a su interés en el
edificio debido a su implicación con desarrollar los hoteles de Hyatt alrededor del
mundo; también porque la arquitectura era un esfuerzo creativo no incluido en los
premios Nóbel.
Los procedimientos fueron modelados con la base del Nóbel, con la selección final
que es hecha por un jurado internacional con todas las deliberaciones y votando en
secreto. Los nombramientos son continuos cada año con mas de 500 candidatos de
más de 40 países que son considerados cada año.

California Architect Thom Mayne

Becomes the 2005
Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate
Los Angeles, CA—Thom Mayne, who founded his firm Morphosis to
surpass the bounds of traditional forms and materials, while also working
to carve out a territory beyond the limits of modernism and postmodernism,
has been chosen as the 2005 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
The Pritzker Prize caps a three-decade career in which Mayne has received
54 AIA Awards, some 25 Progressive Architecture Awards, as well as
numerous other honors around the world. The sixty-one year old architect
is the first American Laureate in 14 years.
Mayne’s most recent built works to capture major media attention
include the Caltrans District 7 Headquarters and the Science Education
Resource Center / Science Center School, both completed in 2004 in Los
Angeles.
Mayne has numerous other Southern California landmarks: the Diamond
Ranch High School in Pomona, two Salick Medical Office buildings on
Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, and several distinctive private residences.
Mayne is also currently working on the Cahill Center for Astrophysics at the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. Nationally,
Mayne is completing three projects of major importance for the United
States General Services Administration’s Design Excellence program
including a Federal Office Building in San Francisco, California, the Wayne
L. Morse United States Courthouse in Eugene, Oregon, and the NOAA
Satellite Operation Control Facility in Suitland, Maryland.
Two major competitions in New York City were also recently awarded
to his firm: the New Academic Building for The Cooper Union for the
Advancement of Science and Art; and the NYC2012 Olympic Village, a
project in association with NYC’s bid for the 2012 Olympics.
His most recent commission, granted just this month as the result of a
winning competition design is for the new Alaska State Capitol building to
be constructed in Juneau, Alaska.
On the world stage, he has the Hypo Alpe-Adria Center in Klagenfurt,
Austria; the ASE Design Center in Taipei, Taiwan; the Sun Tower in Seoul,
South Korea; and a Social Housing project slated for completion next year
in Madrid, Spain.

Throughout his career, Mayne has remained active in the academic
world. He currently holds a tenured professorship at the University of
California in Los Angeles and is a founder of the influential and progressive
Southern California Institute of Architecture. He has been a visiting
professor and/or lecturer at institutions and universities around the world.
In announcing the jury’s choice, Thomas J. Pritzker, president of The
Hyatt Foundation, said, “When this prize was founded in 1979, Thom
Mayne had just received his Master of Architecture degree from Harvard
the year before. The intervening years have seen 28 Laureates chosen. Thom
Mayne is the twenty-ninth, and only the eighth American to be so honored.”
The formal ceremony for what has come to be known throughout the
world as architecture’s highest honor will be held on May 31, 2005 in
Chicago’s Millennium Park in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, a structure named
for the founder of the prize and designed by juror and 1989 Pritzker
Laureate, Frank Gehry. At that time, a $100,000 grant and a bronze
medallion will be bestowed.
Lord Palumbo, beginning his term as Pritzker Jury Chairman, spoke of
the jury’s choice, “Every now and then an architect appears on the
international scene, who teaches us to look at the art of architecture with
fresh eyes, and whose work marks him out as a man apart in the originality
and exuberance of its vocabulary, the richness and diversity of its palette, the
risks undertaken with confidence and brio, the seamless fusion of art and
technology.”
Bill Lacy, an architect, speaking as the executive director of the Pritzker
Prize, quoted from the jury citation which states, “Thom Mayne is a product
of the turbulent 60’s who has carried that rebellious attitude and fervent
desire for change into his practice, the fruits of which are only now becoming
visible in a group of large scale projects.”
Frank Gehry, in his capacity as Pritzker Juror, said, “I was thrilled that our
new laureate hails from my part of the world. I’ve known him for a long
time, watched him grow into a mature and, I like to say, ‘authentic’ architect.
He continues to explore and search for new ways to make buildings useable
and exciting.”
Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture critic and member of the jury,
commented further saying, “The work of Thom Mayne moves architecture
from the 20th to the 21st century in its use of today’s art and technology to
create a dynamic style that expresses and serves today’s needs.”
Another juror, Carlos Jimenez from Houston who is professor of
architecture at Rice University, said, “Thom Mayne’s work exemplifies an
astonishing level of consistency and conviction. The dynamics of this
focused pursuit do not result in predictable or rarefied architecture, but
5

produce an architecture that invites us to be full participants and recipients
of the architect’s abundant inventiveness. In the process we come to
experience architecture anew: from how it is imagined to how it is drawn, to
how it is constructed and becomes a collective experience.”
And from juror Victoria Newhouse, architectural historian, author, and
founder and director of the Architectural History Foundation, “I feel that in
the past few years Thom Mayne’s work has shown an impressive development,
from being merely good to being outstanding. Diamond Ranch High
School (2000) was for me the benchmark. I visited it the year of its
completion and found not only the original design admirable, but the way
in which the architect adapted that design to the government’s financial
limitations was ingenious.”
Juror Karen Stein, who is editorial director of Phaidon Press in New
York, commented, “Thom Mayne sees architecture as a contact sport — a
group activity that pushes physical limits, in this case of form making. From
his earliest complex, multi-layered drawings to his more recent completed
buildings, he has used the latest technologies as both theme and apparatus
of his designs, creating a body of work that has consistently explored and
expressed architecture as a risk-taking, visceral experience.”
The purpose of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is to honor annually a
living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those
qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent
and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through
the art of architecture.
The distinguished jury that selected Mayne as the 2005 Laureate consists
of its chairman, Lord Palumbo, chairman of the Serpentine Gallery Trustees,
former chairman of the Arts Council of Great Britain and well known as an
art and architectural patron; and alphabetically: Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi,
Architect, Planner and Professor of Architecture of Ahmedabad, India;
Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of Vitra, Basel, Switzerland;
Frank Gehry, architect and 1989 Pritzker Laureate; Ada Louise Huxtable,
author and architectural critic of New York; Carlos Jimenez, professor at
Rice University School of Architecture, and principal, Carlos Jimenez
Studio in Houston, Texas; Victoria Newhouse, architectural historian and
author who founded and is the director of the Architectural History
Foundation in New York; and Karen Stein, editorial director of Phaidon
Press in New York.
The prize presentation ceremony moves to different locations around
the world each year, paying homage to historic and contemporary
architecture. Last year, the ceremony was held in the State Hermitage
Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The year before in Madrid, Spain in the
6

Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. Michelangelo’s Campidoglio
in Rome, Italy was the location in 2000. In 2002, Thomas Jefferson’s home,
Monticello, in Charlottesville, Virginia was the venue. In 2000, the ceremony
was held in Jerusalem in the Archaeological Park surrounding the Dome of
the Rock.
The late Philip Johnson was the first Pritzker Laureate in 1979. The late
Luis Barragán of Mexico was named in 1980. The late James Stirling of
Great Britain was elected in 1981, Kevin Roche in 1982, Ieoh Ming Pei in
1983, and Richard Meier in 1984. Hans Hollein of Austria was the 1985
Laureate. Gottfried Böhm of Germany received the prize in 1986. Kenzo
Tange was the first Japanese architect to receive the prize in 1987; Fumihiko
Maki was the second from Japan in 1993; and Tadao Ando the third in
1995. Robert Venturi received the honor in 1991, and Alvaro Siza of
Portugal in 1992. Christian de Portzamparc of France was elected Pritzker
Laureate in 1994. The late Gordon Bunshaft of the United States and Oscar
Niemeyer of Brazil, were named in 1988. Frank Gehry was the recipient in
1989, the late Aldo Rossi of Italy in 1990. In 1996, Rafael Moneo of Spain
was the Laureate; in 1997 Sverre Fehn of Norway; in 1998 Renzo Piano of
Italy, in 1999 Sir Norman Foster of the UK, and in 2000, Rem Koolhaas of
the Netherlands. In 2001, two architects from Switzerland received the
honor: Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. The 2002 laureate was
Australian Glenn Murcutt. In 2003, Jørn Utzon of Denmark was chosen
and last year, the first woman to be selected was Zaha Hadid of the UK.
The field of architecture was chosen by the Pritzker family because of
their keen interest in building due to their involvement with developing the
Hyatt Hotels around the world; also because architecture was a creative
endeavor not included in the Nobel Prizes. The procedures were modeled
after the Nobels, with the final selection being made by the international jury
with all deliberations and voting in secret. Nominations are continuous from
year to year with hundreds of nominees from countries all around the world
being considered each year.

Citation from the Jury
Morphosis, the name of Thom Mayne’s firm, means “to be in formation,” and
is a particularly apt description of this architect’s professional career journey and
struggle. Until the mid-80’s he was a largely unknown, revolutionary young West Coast
architect with an Architecture degree from the University of Southern California, a
Master’s degree from Harvard, and a great deal of promise. The firm was known primarily
to aficionados and students of architecture for a few exceptional small projects — two
pace-setting restaurants, a residence, and a medical clinic. All that was destined to
change. Having survived a dearth of projects in the early 90’s, Mayne stormed into the
new century with a vengeance and began to win competitions and commissions for ever
more important projects, all noted for their audacious character, bold designs, and
originality — both in their form and in their use of materials. Mayne’s distinguished
honors include the Rome Prize Fellowship from the American Academy of Design in
Rome (1987), Member Elect from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1992), the
2000 American Institute of Architects/Los Angeles Gold Medal in Architecture, and the
Chrysler Design Award of Excellence (2001).
Thom Mayne is a product of the turbulent 60’s who has carried that rebellious
attitude and fervent desire for change into his practice, the fruits of which are only now
becoming visible in a group of large scale projects including the Student Recreation
Center at the University of Cincinnati, a federal courthouse in Eugene, Oregon, a new
art and engineering building for the venerable Cooper Union in Manhattan, and the
mammoth headquarters building for California’s Department of Transportation (District
7) in Los Angeles.
Mayne’s approach toward architecture and his philosophy is not derived from
European modernism, Asian influences, or even from American precedents of the last
century. He has sought throughout his career to create an original architecture, one that
is truly representative of the unique, somewhat rootless, culture of Southern California,
especially the architecturally rich city of Los Angeles. Like the Eameses, Neutra,
Schindler, and Gehry before him, Thom Mayne is an authentic addition to the tradition
of innovative, exciting architectural talent that flourishes on the West Coast.
Following the firm’s early projects and his role in founding an unorthodox
school of architecture, “SCI-ARC,” he and his partner in Morphosis, Michael Rotondi,
separated and Mayne entered a period of few built projects, which tested his mettle,
determination and passion for his chosen profession. Gradually, however, clients both
public and private began to acknowledge and be attracted to Mayne’s bold forms,
original palette of materials and design authenticity.
Mayne has now moved to the front ranks of the profession. He is a vigorous
participant in many design competitions world-wide, winning the firm’s fair share.
Additionally, through lectures, writings, and his professorship at UCLA he has become
a spokesman for architecture, a mentor and example to the younger generation of
architects.
For having the qualities that superbly match the credo of the Prize – “talent,
vision, and commitment to furthering the art of architecture,” and for an outstanding
body of work and future promise, the Pritzker Architecture Prize Jury is pleased to award
Thom Mayne the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize.

Note to editors: The following are some additional comments
from individual Pritzker Prize Jurors:
“Every now and then an architect appears on the international scene, who teaches us to look
at the art of architecture with fresh eyes, and whose work marks him out as a man apart in the
originality and exuberance of its vocabulary, the richness and diversity of its palette, the risks
undertaken with confidence and brio, the seamless fusion of art and technology. Thom Mayne
is such an artist.He fulfills admirably the words of the great Chicago architect, Mies van der
Rohe, who said, ‘Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space, living, changing,
new.’ For these reasons, Thom Mayne is a worthy recipient of this year’s Pritzker Architecture
Prize.”
Lord Palumbo, Pritzker Jury Chairman
“The work of Thom Mayne moves architecture from the 20th to the 21st century in its use of
today’s art and technology to create a dynamic style that expresses and serves today’s needs.”

…about Thom Mayne
“We will hold to that which is difficult, because it is difficult…and by its
difficulty is worthwhile.” That’s a quote from architect Thom Mayne in a
monograph about his firm, Morphosis, which he founded in 1972 in Los Angeles.
The thought expressed is rather typical of a man who has achieved distinction
throughout the world as a theorist, author, teacher, and last, but by no means
least, as an architect. His stature is even more enhanced as the recipient of the
2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
As stated in the Pritzker Jury’s citation, “Mayne’s approach toward
architecture and his philosophy is not derived from European modernism, Asian
influences, or even from American precedents of the last century. He has sought
throughout his career to create an original architecture, one that is truly
representative of the unique, somewhat rootless, culture of Southern California,
especially the architecturally rich city of Los Angeles. Like the Eameses, Neutra,
Schindler, and Gehry before him, Thom Mayne is an authentic addition to the
tradition of innovative, exciting architectural talent that flourishes on the West
Coast.”
When Mayne received the call on his cell phone from the Pritzker Prize
executive director, Bill Lacy, he was in a cab crossing the Triborough Bridge in
New York on his way to the airport. “When he told me I had been selected as
the 2005 Laureate, I was speechless. This is such a big deal, and due to certain
aspects of my upbringing, it is not in my nature to think about being the one who
prevails…For my whole life I’ve always seen myself as an outsider.” That hardly
sounds like the man that some in the media have called “a bad boy of architecture,”
so an exploration of that “upbringing” is in order.
Thom Mayne was born in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1944. His family
moved to Gary, Indiana when he was an infant where his mother and father
subsequently divorced. When he was ten, his mother moved the family to an area
south of Whittier, California where he and his younger brother could be nearer
to his maternal grandmother. He characterized the place as “the middle of
nowhere with orange groves and avocado trees.” Economically, the family was
quite poor. “My mother, whose father was a Methodist minister, had studied in
Chicago and Paris,” he explains, “She was a pianist, and had actually appeared
with her sister in recital at Carnegie Hall, but then she got married and gave up
her musical life to focus on her children. When the separation came, she was not
equipped to support a family….she was a creative person, a person with a
musician’s temperament. She tried teaching, but that didn’t work so she went to
work in a series of support jobs in various fields.”
Mayne continues, “But my mother was completely cultured. I grew up on
12

classical music, and reproductions of great art. As a result, I grew up as a city-
kid in the suburbs, not an athlete, not a joiner. Anyway, I was completely out of
place in Whittier. My first day of school, my bike and jacket were taken and I was
beaten up. I was arranging flowers at ten, re-working the landscape of our house
at twelve. The aesthetic stuff was definitely not what boys did. As a result, I
became kind of a loner, and aloof. I didn’t really have a family then because my
mom was never around. Now, I have a lovely family. My wife is so, really
luscious. She really knows me, and understands completely that I can be an
extremely self-critical person because of all the challenges in my life. We both get
that the self-critical part is also the engine that drives the creativity…” His family
includes three sons, one (Richard Mayne) by a previous marriage who is grown
and has a family of his own, and two younger children, Sam aged 21 and Cooper
17.
According to Mayne, he managed to survive high school in Whittier.
When he headed off to college initially, it was by bus to Cal Poly in Pomona. By
his account, “When I got off the bus, the first people I saw were three girls riding
by on horses. I was shocked…The city boy in me really came out, and I got right
back on the bus to LA, and went over to USC. They had an accomplished group
of practitioners in the architecture school then, Craig Ellwood, Gregory Ain,
Ray Kappe, Ralph Knowles and others. I had won a competition for a house I
designed in my Architectural Drafting class in High School so I had an attraction
to the field of architecture….but not much of a clue what it meant to practice.
Anyway, they accepted me, and for the first time I found a world that seemed to
fit.”
And the rest is history, or at least one could jump to that conclusion based
on the preponderance of commissions awarded to Morphosis in the last few years.
But there is more to the story of Thom Mayne.
When he finished USC, he went to work as a planner for Victor Gruen for
two years. Then he started teaching at Pomona, but soon he and six of his
colleagues, including the director, were fired. “We were young, committed and
convinced that we could re-think where architecture was headed so when we got
fired, we decided to start our own school. We sensed that it was the right time
to initiate a radical alternative to the conventional educational system,” Mayne
recounts. That was the genesis of the Southern California Institute of Architecture
(SCI-Arc). They took forty of the students from Pomona with them and started
the school. “We made no money, we worked for nothing,” says Mayne, “I was
working ten hours a day teaching, doing little gigs on the side, consulting, to
survive. And I was living in Venice, over a bait and tackle shop, maybe $100 a
month rent. You could live really simply then. All of a sudden, four years of my
life had gone by, and I’m running a graduate program. Eventually, in 1978 I
13

took a sabbatical and entered the graduate program at Harvard”.
It was that year at Harvard that gave him time to reassess his career. “By
that time it had become clear to me that my interests were leading me away from
planning…it just wasn’t tangible enough… toward architecture. …. By the end
of ’79, I got back to Los Angeles, and boom, boom, I started receiving residential
commissions. I realized what a unique city LA is for practicing architecture
(Frank Gehry had just finished his house), how open it is to experimentation.
Unbeknownst to all of us, the Los Angeles architecture scene was becoming
interesting at a global level.”
Morphosis came into being in 1972 during the first year of SCI-arc’s
history. “It really wasn’t an office, it was an idea” says Mayne. “We had no work.
We didn’t think of having work, it had to do with an interdisciplinary collective
practice… of starting a group of people who would work with graphics, interior
design objects, furniture, architecture and urban design. We had a studio
downtown. We sat around and talked. We’d do a little graphic thing here and
there to make some money. We couldn’t get architecture. It was all very counter
culture.”
It was at that time that his son was going to a school in Pasadena that
Mayne describes as “completely radical, but fabulous.” Parent meetings evolved
into a first project for Morphosis, designing a new school, the Sequoyah
Educational Research Center, which subsequently won the firm its first Progressive
Architecture award in 1974. “That was the beginning,” Mayne explains, “the
PA award led to inquiries from other publications around the world, wanting to
publish this and that, suddenly we had an existence.”
Mayne continued, “After doing a lot of remodels in Venice, the Lawrence
Residence project came along and that’s when everything started breaking loose
for us, getting published in LA, and we became part of a group. We, as younger
architects, were definitely taking over, it was a real shift in the context of
architecture.”
It was at this time, when he was emerging as a public figure that somehow
or other, various journalists began to characterize Mayne as “an angry young
man.” He takes exception: “No doubt about it, I’m a complicated guy, but the
bad boy description comes from, I think, a reaction to my being relentlessly
tenacious and to having an independent voice. I have a long attention span, and
when I grab on to something, I stick with it…I was nicknamed “pointer dog” by
my former partner. If anything, I think this award, the Pritzker Prize,
acknowledges the necessity to act on ones beliefs, to have the conviction of ones
beliefs, and to sometimes pay whatever it costs to see the work through with
integrity.”

Today, Morphosis is home to forty architects and designers, and Thom
Mayne is firmly committed to the practice of architecture as a collective
enterprise. Mayne elaborates, “An architect operates, finally, more as a director
does than as a painter or a sculptor. They have to focus the energy of a large
group of people on a common obsession. The architect has to know a little bit
about everything…it’s a generalist discipline not a discipline for the specialist.”
Not surprisingly, the products of his practice range from designs for watches and
teapots to homes to large-scale civic buildings and other urban design and
planning schemes that aim to reshape entire cities.
Some of those recent commissions include a federal office building in San
Francisco, a satellite operation control facility for the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration near Washington, D.C., and a courthouse in
Eugene, Oregon. Mayne says that it was real kick to have won the last two major
competitions in New York City — one being a building to house the Albert
Nerken School of Engineering of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of
Science and Art, and the other, an Olympic Village for the 2012 games, to be
built whether or not the Olympics come to New York in that year.
The multi-purpose Student Recreation Center at the University of
Cincinnati, a project being completed later this year, includes athletic facilities,
food facilities, student housing and classroom space. The building is one of the key
components of the University’s new campus master plan and helps to tie together,
like a Chinese puzzle, many of the disparate conditions that exist in the center of
the campus. Just as this Pritzker Prize announcement was being prepared,
Mayne was notified that his firm’s recent design for a new Alaska State Capitol
had been awarded first prize in an international design competition.
Scheduled for completion in 2007 is the Palenque at JVC, a 6250 seat
open-air multi-use arena for Guadalajara, Mexico, that is situated to function as
a gateway to a larger campus consisting of ten distinguished building projects
inaugurated to revitalize the city. In Madrid, Morphosis is creating a public
housing block consisting of 165 two-, three-, and four- bedroom units totaling
10,000 square meters of built area.
One of his more important projects is the recently completed Caltrans
District 7 Headquarters in Los Angeles. The design of this building goes beyond
merely providing functional spaces. It seeks in every way to actively engage the
city and people while blurring the distinction between outside and inside, with the
objective of creating a government bureau that works as a truly public building.
The internationally acclaimed artist, Keith Sonnier, collaborated closely with
Morphosis to create a fully integrated art piece that activates the outdoor lobby
with half a mile of neon and argon tubes arranged in horizontal bands of red and
blue light that mimic the ribbons of headlights and taillights on the freeways of
15

California. Notably, Sonnier’s piece gives Los Angeles its largest public art
installayion.
As an educator himself, Mayne has always been concerned with the
culture of learning and the pedagogical impact of architecture. All of his
educational projects have explored and continue to explore this territory and as
a result have yielded several exceptionally innovative projects. The Science
Center School, completed in 2004, was a unique joint venture between the
California Science Center and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Sited on
historic Exposition Park, the project is surrounded by the Rose Garden, the
Gehry designed Aerospace Museum, and Exposition Boulevard, which separates
the project from the University of Southern California. Sculpted berms of earth
buffer the project from heavy traffic of the street. The work encompassed
upgrading and renovating a historic armory along with some new construction.
The International Elementary School, completed in 1999 in Long
Beach, California, provided the school district with an innovative space saving
plan that allowed them to accommodate their program on a tight urban site.
Classrooms are organized around a central courtyard and program areas are
stacked to increase the overall compactness of the project. Stairs lead up to
rooftop playground, which provides students with a protected recreational
environment and views to their surrounding community.
Mayne’s most celebrated school project to date is the Diamond Ranch
High School for the Pomona Unified School District. Completed in 1999, the
high school’s goals of educational flexibility and social interaction between
students, teachers and administration are expressed in a thoughtful and
heterogeneous design. Accommodating 1200 students, the design blurs the
distinction between building and landscape. Two rows of fragmented forms of
the structure are set tightly on either side of a “canyon” or sidewalk that cuts
through the face of the hillside, making clear the vision of the campus as a re-
interpreted landscape.
In Klagenfurt, Austria, a project with 250,000 square feet of commercial
office space, retail space, parking and a kindergarten was completed in 2002 for
the Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank Carinthia. Morphosis describes this project as
follows: “The structure integrates itself into its surroundings and emerges from
the ground as ‘reconfigured earth.’ Like the seismic shifting of tectonic plates,
the bank headquarters itself erupts out of this pregnant, expectant form clad in
sheet metal, declaring its status as a major cultural and civic institution and
connecting the public forum with the street.”
Citizens of Los Angeles would recognize several of Mayne’s projects on
the west side: Two office structures for Salick Healthcare within a block of each
16

other on Beverly Boulevard. Kate Mantilini is a popular restaurant at the corner
of Doheny Drive and Wilshire Boulevard. Until recently, the store front of
Hennessy & Ingalls bookstore in the Third Street Mall of Santa Monica was a
Morphosis creation from its very earliest days. The bookstore recently moved to
another location close by. Also, until just a few months ago, the sprawling Cedars
Sinai Hospital, had a Comprehensive Cancer Center designed by Mayne. A
multi-story addition to the main hospital building has superseded that structure.
In West Hollywood, another restaurant, Angeli, has the Morphosis touch.
That touch has reached all the way to the Far East. In Seoul, Korea, a
retail office building called Sun Tower was built with two owners acting in
concert. The project, which includes five floors of retail (including two in the
basement) and penthouse offices for an international clothing manufacturing
corporation, provides an early example of Mayne’s long-standing interest in
creating innovative and high performing building skins in which the arts of
architecture and engineering are fully integrated. Conceptually, this project
allowed Mayne to explore formal ideas that he has since further developed as
they have found their way into subsequent projects including his design for a
major installation at the Netherlands Architecture Institute, a move-able stage
set for the Charleroi Dance Group, and the Federal Office Building in San
Francisco. Also located in Asia and designed by the firm is the ASE Design and
Visitors Center in Taipei, Taiwan, completed in 1997.
Among his earliest works are several innovative residential projects: 2-
4-6-8, Venice III, Sedlack, and Delmer, all in Venice, California; as well as the
Lawrence residence in Hermosa Beach, California. Mayne acknowledges
influence for some of these projects from Robert Venturi, the late Aldo Rossi, and
the late James Stirling — all past Pritzker Laureates. By the mid-90’s Mayne had
completed two additional influential residential projects: the Crawford residence
and the Blades residence, both located in the Santa Barbara, California area.
Over the years, Mayne has written some of the most erudite essays and
articles describing not only his work, but the theories behind his designs. In
addition to his experiences with SCI-Arc, he now is a tenured professor at
UCLA, teaching a graduate program in architecture. In closing this interview,
Mayne says, “Architecture is a long distance sport. You put your mind to it, and
stay with it for 30 years, and then you’re just getting started.”

2005 Pritzker Prize Ceremony Will Be Held in the
Jay Pritzker Pavilion of Chicago’s
Millennium Park
In celebration of the opening of Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion this

past year, the 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize will be presented there in a ceremony
on Tuesday, May 31 at 6:30 p.m. With some 2000 seats available, this will mark
the first time a ceremony venue has made it possible for the public to join with invited
guests from around the world. This will be the fourth time the prize has been awarded
in Chicago — twice before in the Art Institute and once on the occasion of the
opening of the Harold Washington Library Center.
The international prize, which is awarded each year to a living architect for
lifetime achievement, was established by the Pritzker family of Chicago through their
Hyatt Foundation in 1979. Often referred to as “architecture’s Nobel” and “the
profession’s highest honor,” the presentation ceremonies move around the world
each year, paying homage to the architecture of other eras and/or works by previous
laureates of the prize.
“The pavilion is particularly appropriate because the architect, Frank
Gehry, was awarded the prize in 1989,” explained Thomas J. Pritzker, president of
The Hyatt Foundation. “And since the City of Chicago is our home town, we wanted
to share it with the public. This will be the second time that a Frank Gehry building
will have been used — the first being the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain in
1997.”
The ceremony itself is relatively short, consisting of welcoming remarks from
Mayor Daley; comments from the jury chairman, Lord Palumbo of the UK; the
presentation of the prize by Thomas Pritzker; and an acceptance speech from this
year’s Laureate, Thom Mayne.
Over the years, the ceremony locations have become, in effect, an international
grand tour of architecture. Last year in St. Petersburg, Russia, the State Hermitage
Museum, a great museum and architectural monument comprising several epochs
and styles was the site for the presentation to the first woman architect to receive the
honor, Zaha Hadid of the United Kingdom.
As the ceremony locations are usually chosen each year before the laureate
is selected, there is no intended connection between the two. This year’s Laureate will
be announced in late March.
Buildings by Laureates of the Pritzker Prize, such as the National Gallery of
Art’s East Building designed by I.M. Pei, or Richard Meier’s Getty Center in Los
Angeles have been sites for the award.
Ceremonies were held twice in Italy, the first being in 1990 at the Palazzo
Grassi in Venice when the late Aldo Rossi received the prize. The second time was
in 2002 when Glenn Murcutt received the award in Michelangelo’s Campidoglio
Square in Rome.
18

In some instances, places of historic interest such as France’s Palace of
Versailles and Grand Trianon, Todai-ji Buddhist Temple in Japan, and Prague
Castle in The Czech Republic have been chosen as ceremony venues.
Some of the most beautiful museums have hosted the event, including the
already mentioned Palazzo Grassi: Chicago’s Art Institute (using the Chicago
Stock Exchange Trading Room designed by Louis Sullivan and his partner,
Dankmar Adler, which was preserved when the Stock Exchange building was torn
down in 1972. The Trading Room was then reconstructed in the museum’s new
wing in 1977).
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art provided the setting in 1982 using
Laureate Kevin Roche’s pavilion for the Temple of Dendur. In homage to the late
Louis Kahn, the ceremony was held in Fort Worth’s Kimbell Art Museum in 1987.
California’s Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens was the
setting in l985.
The 20th anniversary of the prize was hosted at the White House since in a
way, the Pritzker Prize roots are in Washington where the first two ceremonies were
held. The first being at Dumbarton Oaks, where a major addition to the original
estate, had been designed by yet another Pritzker Laureate — in fact, the first
laureate, Philip Johnson. Two other Washington venues, The National Building
Museum and the already mentioned National Gallery of Art have both hosted the
prize ceremony.
In 2003, the King and Queen of Spain presided over the ceremony in the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, when the Danish architect
Jørn Utzon was honored.
In 2000 in Jerusalem, the Herodian Street excavation in the shadow of the
Temple Mount provided the most ancient of the venues. Just two years ago, the
ceremony was held at Monticello, the home designed by Thomas Jefferson, who was
not only an architect, but the third president of the United States, who also authored
the Declaration of Independence.
One of the founding jurors of the Pritzker Prize, the late Lord Clark of
Saltwood, also known as art historian Kenneth Clark, and perhaps best known for
his television series and book, Civilisation, said at one of the ceremonies, “A great
historical episode can exist in our imagination almost entirely in the form of
architecture. Very few of us have read the texts of early Egyptian literature. Yet we
feel we know those infinitely remote people almost as well as our immediate
ancestors, chiefly because of their sculpture and architecture.”

A Brief History of the Pritzker Architecture Prize
The Pritzker Architecture Prize was established by The Hyatt

Foundation in 1979 to honor annually a living architect whose built work
demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision, and
commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions
to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture. It
has often been described as “architecture’s most prestigious award” or as
“the Nobel of architecture.”
The prize takes its name from the Pritzker family, whose international
business interests are headquartered in Chicago. They have long been
known for their support of educational, social welfare, scientific, medical
and cultural activities. Jay A. Pritzker, who founded the prize with his wife,
Cindy, died on January 23, 1999. His eldest son, Thomas J. Pritzker has
become president of The Hyatt Foundation. In 2004, Chicago celebrated
the opening of Millennium Park, in which a music pavilion designed by
Pritzker Laureate Frank Gehry was dedicated and named for the founder of
the prize. It is in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion that the 2005 awarding ceremony
takes place.
Tom Pritzker explains, “As native Chicagoans, it's not surprising that
our family was keenly aware of architecture, living in the birthplace of the
skyscraper, a city filled with buildings designed by architectural legends such
as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and many others.
” He continues, “In 1967, we acquired an unfinished building which was to
become the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Its soaring atrium was wildly successful
and became the signature piece of our hotels around the world. It was
immediately apparent that this design had a pronounced affect on the mood
of our guests and attitude of our employees. While the architecture of
Chicago made us cognizant of the art of architecture, our work with
designing and building hotels made us aware of the impact architecture
could have on human behavior. So in 1978, when we were approached with
the idea of honoring living architects, we were responsive. Mom and Dad
(Cindy and the late Jay A. Pritzker) believed that a meaningful prize would
encourage and stimulate not only a greater public awareness of buildings,
but also would inspire greater creativity within the architectural profession.”
He went on to add that he is extremely proud to carry on that effort on
behalf of his family.
Many of the procedures and rewards of the Pritzker Prize are
modeled after the Nobel Prize. Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize
receive a $100,000 grant, a formal citation certificate, and since 1987, a
20

bronze medallion. Prior to that year, a limited edition Henry Moore
sculpture was presented to each Laureate.
Nominations are accepted from all nations; from government officials,
writers, critics, academicians, fellow architects, architectural societies, or
industrialists, virtually anyone who might have an interest in advancing
great architecture. The prize is awarded irrespective of nationality, race,
creed, or ideology.
The nominating procedure is continuous from year to year, closing in
January each year. Nominations received after the closing are automatically
considered in the following calendar year. There are well over 500 nominees
from more than 47 countries to date. The final selection is made by an
international jury with all deliberation and voting in secret.
The Evolution of the Jury
The first jury assembled in 1979 consisted of the late J. Carter Brown,
then director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; the late J.
Irwin Miller, then chairman of the executive and finance committee of
Cummins Engine Company; Cesar Pelli, architect and at the time, dean of
the Yale University School of Architecture; Arata Isozaki, architect from
Japan; and the late Kenneth Clark (Lord Clark of Saltwood), noted English
author and art historian.
The jury that selected the 2005 laureate comprises the chairman,
Lord Palumbo of the UK, well known architectural patron and former
chairman of the Arts Council of Great Britain, former chairman of the Tate
Gallery Foundation, former trustee of the Mies van der Rohe Archives of the
Museum of Modern Art in New York, and chairman of the trustees,
Serpentine Gallery; Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi, architect, planner and
professor of architecture from Ahmeddabad, Indai; Rolf Fehlbaum,
chairman of Vitra, Basil, Switzerland; Frank Gehry,
architect and 1989 Prtizker Laureate; Ada Louise Huxtable, author and
architecture critic of the Wall Street Journal; Carlos Jimenez, a principal of
Carlos Jimenez Studio and professor at the Rice University School of
Architecture in Houston, Texas; Victoria Newhouse, architectural historian
and author, founder and director of the Architectural History Foundation;
and Karen Stein, editiorial director of Phaidon Press, New York.
Others who have served include the late Thomas J. Watson, Jr.,
former chairman of IBM; the late Giovanni Agnelli, former chairman of
Fiat; Toshio Nakamura, former editor of A+U in Japan; and American
architects Philip Johnson and Kevin Roche; as well as architects Ricardo
Legorreta of Mexico, Fumihiko Maki of Japan, and Charles Correa of
21

India, the Lord Rothschild of UK; and Jorge Silvetti, architect of professor
of architecture at Harvard University.
Bill Lacy, architect and advisor to the J. Paul Getty Trust and many
other foundations, as well as a professor at State University of New York
at Purchase, has served as executive director of the prize from 1988
through 2005. Previous secretaries to the jury were the late Brendan Gill,
who was architecture critic of The New Yorker magazine; and the late
Carleton Smith. From the prize's founding until his death in 1986, Arthur
Drexler, who was the director of the department of architecture and design
at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, was a consultant to the
jury.
Television Symposium Marked
Tenth Anniversary of the Prize
“Architecture has long been considered the mother of all the arts,”
is how the distinguished journalist Edwin Newman, serving as moderator,
opened the television symposium Architecture and the City: Friends or
Foes? “Building and decorating shelter was one of the first expressions of
man’s creativity, but we take for granted most of the places in which we
work or live,” he continued. “Architecture has become both the least and
the most conspicuous of art forms.”
With a panel that included three architects, a critic, a city planner, a
developer, a mayor, a lawyer, a museum director, an industrialist, an
educator, and an administrator, the symposium explored problems facing
everyone — not just those who live in big cities, but anyone involved in
community life. Some of the questions discussed: what should be built,
how much, where, when, what will it look like, what controls should be
allowed, and who should impose them?
For complete details on the symposium which was produced in the
tenth anniversary year of the prize, please go the "pritzkerprize.com" web
site, where you can also view the video tape of the symposium.
Exhibitions and Book on the Pritzker Prize
The Art of Architecture, a circulating exhibition of the work of

Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which had its world premiere
at the Harold Washington Library Center in Chicago in 1992, will make its
first appearance in the Far East this fall at the Fine Arts Museum of Taipei,
Taiwan. The European debut was in Berlin at the Deutsches Architektur
Zentrum in in 1995. It was also shown at the Karntens Haus der Architektur
22

in Klagenfurt, Austria in 1996, and in 1997, in South America, at the
Architecture Biennale in Saõ Paulo, Brazil. In the U.S. it has been shown at
the Gallery of Fine Art, Edison Community College in Ft. Myers, Florida;
the Fine Arts Gallery at Texas A&M University; the National Building
Museum in Washington, D.C.; The J. B. Speed Museum in Louisville,
Kentucky; the Canton Art Institute, Ohio; the Indianapolis Museum of Art
Columbus Gallery, Indiana; the Washington State University Museum of
Art in Pullman, Washington; the University of Nebraska, and Brigham
Young University in Provo, Utah. Its most recent showings were in Costa
Mesa, California; and museums in Poland and Turkey. A smaller version of
the exhibit was shown at the White House ceremony in 1998, and has been
shown at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia and at
Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Another exhibition, designed by Carlos Jimenez, titled, The Pritzker
Architecture Prize 1979-1999, which was organized by The Art Institute of
Chicago and celebrated the first twenty years of the prize and the works of
the laureates, was shown in Chicago in 1999 and in Toronto at the Royal
Ontario Museum in 2000. It provided, through drawings, original sketches,
photographs, plans and models, an opportunity to view works from some
of the most important architects who shaped the architecture of 20th
century.
A book with texts by the late J. Carter Brown, Bill Lacy, British
journalist Colin Amery, and William J. R. Curtis, was produced to accompany
the exhibition, and is still available. Co-published by Abrams of New York
and The Art Institute of Chicago, the 206 page book was edited by co-
curator Martha Thorne. It presents an analytical history of the prize along
with examples of buildings by the laureates illustrated in full color. The book
celebrates the first twenty years of the prize and the works of the laureates,
providing an opportunity to analyze the significance of the prize and its
evolution.
23

The bronze medallion awarded to each Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is based on designs of Louis
Sullivan, famed Chicago architect generally acknowledged as the father of the skyscraper. On one side is the name
of the prize. On the reverse, three words are inscribed, “fir mness, commodity and delight,” T hese are the three
conditions refer red to by Henry Wotton in his 1624 treatise, The Elements of Architecture, which was a
translation of thoughts originally set do wn nearly 2000 years ago by Marcus Vitruvius in his Ten Books on
Architecture, dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus. Wotton, who did the translation when he was England’s
first ambassador to Venice, used the complete quote as: “T he end is to build well. Well-building hath three
conditions: commodity, fir mness and delight.”
