This one had really slipped under my radar, but thanks to Christopher Hawthorne's Sunday LA Times, I was introduced to Thomas Mayne's latest masterpiece, shown here. This is the recently completed Cahill Center at CalTech. I'm a little too old to be a groupie, but I really love this man's work. I first became aware of him with a series of remodels along Wilshire, and of course Kate Mantellini...but I would never have predicted such a masterful body of work. The new Federal Building in San Francisco and the Cooper Union in New York (see previous post) look like the creations of someone who had no preconceptions of what a building should look like...almost as if he'd never seen one before! Bravo!
