	Interview with Thom Mayne by Anna Tilroe
		Mayne (1944), a tall, sturdy man with a stubbly beard and a fierce, almost savage expression, is not an uncontroversial architect.
		Mayne hesitates now, starts a long-winded story about the ugliness and dubiousness of social architecture with a therapeutic function, and then seizes on the social project with which he made his big breakthrough as an architect five years ago: the Diamond Ranch High School in Pomona, not far from Los Angeles.
		Mayne: ‘The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating.

		Nowadays, the accent is on the $1.2 billion Grand Avenue makeover (in which Mayne has been an on-again, off-again participant) and the new $300 million LAPD headquarters, Chief William Brattonâs land grab directly across the street from both City Hall and Caltrans.
		Mayne is forcing us to ponder the actual purpose of a buildingâs exterior wall, while upending the typical conventions of a steel-and-glass office tower.
