Strange Networks by the grand Thom Mayne

Still recovering from a nasty strain of Influenza and check out what was on the mail for me today… a dedicated copy of Strange Networks by the grand Thom Mayne.

Just received Strange Networks as a gift from Thom Mayne himself—a real privilege! The book is a deep dive into the complexities of architectural form, process, and networked thinking, capturing Thom’s relentless pursuit of spatial and systemic innovation. Through layered mappings, computational explorations, and interdisciplinary strategies, it challenges conventional design logic, embracing unpredictability and emergent order. Flipping through its pages, I’m reminded why his work continues to push boundaries. An inspiring read for anyone fascinated by the evolving relationships between architecture, technology, and data. Excited to dig in!
