Morphosis has been one of the leading architecture firms in the world for over 30 years and now are driving the sustainable front into the 21st century. This is definitely a conversation that shouldn’t be missed.

So is this a debate, an interview or a mediated conversation?

panel discussion is the used term.
“North Carolina native and Emmy Award winning journalist Charlie Rose moderates a panel discussion with Thom Mayne (affectionately known as the “bad boy” of architecture), public health expert Dr. Dick Jackson and NC State Dean of the College of Design Marvin J. Malecha.”

So, this is assuming that Thom Mayne knows anything about green architecture… Besides a couple LEED buildings, what has Thom designed that is sustainable?
Maybe a more appropriate conversation to have with Mr. Mayne would be about the context of deconstructivism in contemporary urban planning?

You can see other Charlie Rose panel discussions here. He will have questions specific to each person and then expect them to respond to each other. He is a masterful moderator and I’m sure it will be an excellent show.

Morphosis may not be the leader in “green architecture” in today’s world nate, but with Mayne’s power, at least he is using it to talk about skin and LEED ideas rather than simply aesthetics which was mostly what he and Rotundi were speaking of in their decon phase.
He is full of great ideas and i think this will be a great discussion between some great minds about a greatly needed issue….Raleigh will benefit from this.

Overall, the panel discussion was informative and entertaining, but I was seriously let down by several responses, or lack there of, to questions asked by the audience.
Q: “What do you do in your personal life to minimize your footprint?”
All three panelists were somehow stumped. Only Dean Malecha had an answer, as weak as it was, saying he lives within a few miles of campus. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we have architects and public health experts who are pushing for more efficient and sustainable architecture, but how can they get the big picture if they don’t put their personal responsibilities in perspective?
Thom Mayne can harp on desire until he turns blue in the face, I want to see action.
