Greg Lynn

Greg Lynn (born 1964 in North Olmsted, OH) leads his office Greg Lynn FORM and is currently a tenured professor of architecture at University of Applied Arts Vienna, a studio professor at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Architecture and Urban Design and a visiting professor at Yale University.

Life and Work

Greg Lynn graduated cum laude from Miami University (OH) with degrees in Architecture and Philosophy, and Princeton University with a Master of Architecture. He is distinguished for his use of computer-aided design to produce irregular, biomorphic architectural forms, as he proposes that with the use of computers, calculus can be implemented into the generation of architectural expression. Lynn has written extensively on these ideas, first publishing the book "Animate Form" in 1999, funded in part by the Graham Foundation. Lynn's New York Presbyterian Church in Queens, New York, with Douglas Garofalo and Michael McInturf is an early project which used vector-based animation software in its design conception. He is credited with coining the term 'blob architecture'. He was profiled by Time Magazine in their projection of 21st century innovators in the field of architecture and design. [Richard Lacayo, " [http://www.time.com/time/innovators/design/profile_lynn.html You Could Call Him Mr. Softee.] " Innovators, Time 100: The Next Wave. July 17, 2000.]

Lynn's latest works begin to explore how to integrate structure and form together as he discovered some biomorphic forms are inherently resistant to load. He is also one of the forerunners in exploring and integrating the tools of digital fabrication, into the process of design and construction. Lynn has taught at Columbia Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation and ETH Zurich.

Prior to starting his own firm, Greg Lynn worked in the offices of Peter Eisenman and Antoine Predock.
