Interviewing celebrated architects can be like Dancing with the Stars. But no matter how big the name, it still takes two to tango. ArchRecord | related?
Anyway, speaking of talking (ha!): I heard a rumor yesterday that when Mayne presented his graduate thesis it was four blank sheets of paper hung on the wall in front of a jury and he defended it. Anyone know the truth of this rumor?!?
The Terry transcript has had a considerable afterlife as assigned reading for several college courses, less because of my interrogational skills than the architect’s troglodytic notions and virulent prejudices (including his belief that the Classical orders of architecture were handed down to Moses along with the Ten Commandments, and that the Church of England will be taken over by black lesbian bishops.)
lol! any idea if I can read the interview somewhere in the internet? sounds fun!

God I love that photo of Thom Mayne.
