Darlings of the architectural undergrad,
Santa Monica, California's Morphosis, currently
headed by co-founder Thom Mayne, created a large following through
a layering device: layering of spaces and materials. Since the
departure of co-founder Michael Rotondi the firm has embraced
digital media, using the computer to develop forms that veer
from the orthogonal, such as the Diamond Ranch High School in
Ponoma, California. Their design for Graduate House at the
west entrance to the St. George Campus of the University of Toronto
recalls their earlier work, particularly the Salick Health Care
Office Building of 1991, each building creating a strong presence
in their respective setting through a juxtaposition of unconventional,
harsh materials and transparent materials. |
