Thom Mayne Work Quotations

But often it's doubtful whether the logic of the work itself and the words used to describe it really have anything to do with each other.

I think my clients would tell you I'm a problem solver. I'm not there to agree with people. I'm there to articulate a point of view. Am I insistent and tenacious? Absolutely. I could not get this work done if I was not.

Who I am as an architect and the history of my work - that's clear to anybody who hires me. But I come in literally with nothing in my brain about what the building will look like.

I'm not a tabula rasa type. In some ways, the more constraints I have, the work is more interesting to me.
