Thom Mayne in Films and Conversations with the Architects

THE AIA NEW YORK CHAPTER AND THE CHECKERBOARD FILM FOUNDATION PRESENT FILMS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ARCHITECTS Thom Mayne: U.S. Federal Office Building, San Francisco The Pritzker-prize winning architect Thom Mayne has been identified with muscular, bold, steel-and-glass design since founding his firm, Morphosis, in 1971. With the Federal Office Building in San Francisco, Mayne proves that innovative and sustainable architecture can be introduced successfully into a building type once considered predictable and boring. In this tour of the dramatic high-rise building, Mayne takes us through the many awe-inspiring spaces, including the main lobby, upper-level offices, and an elevated outdoor bridge. During the compelling visit, the architect's engaging remarks about various green features also provides added insight into the building's inner workings. P R O D U C E R : Edgar B.
