Pritzker Architecture Prize 2005 voor Thom Mayne

Juryvoorzitter Lord Palumbo over de keuze voor Thom Mayne: '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 (Waterbury, Connecticut 1944) studeerde architectuur aan de University of Southern California in Los Angeles en startte in 1972 zijn eigen bureau Morphosis. Het NAi wijdde in 1999 een overzichtstentoonstelling aan Mayne en Morphosis. Meer informatie over Mayne is te vinden op de Morphosis website en de website van de Pritzker Architecture Prize.
