On March 16, 2015, I have had the privilege of interviewing Thom Mayne of Morphosis for an hour that was taped in Ball State’s TV studio to be broadcast in about two weeks. It was delightful, insightful, and touches upon his origins, childhood, formative years, and how they relate to his creative work. He was very generous and open, and kept saying how insightful it has been for him to gain a new understanding of himself in relation to his work. While he has given hundreds of interviews, this is the first time he talked about his personal life and times he spent growing up in Gary, and Tipton, Indiana and beyond. The recording will, hopefully, become a valuable resource to understand Thom Mayne’s extraordinary career, life, and contributions to architecture, design, and urbanism.
