Designing the Future Through
Innovation, Performance & Purpose
Founded in 1972, Morphosis is an interdisciplinary architecture practice driven by rigorous design and research, creating innovative, iconic buildings and transformative urban environments.
Guided by a collaborative ethos, Partners Arne Emerson, Ung-Joo Scott Lee, Brandon Welling, and Eui-Sung Yi lead a global team of over 80 across offices in Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, Seoul, and Shanghai. Building on the pioneering work of founder and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne, Morphosis continues to advance a vision of bold, research-driven architecture. With projects spanning residential, institutional, civic, and large-scale urban planning, Morphosis operates at every scale to address the complex challenges of contemporary life.
Derived from the Greek term for “to form or be in formation,” Morphosis embraces a dynamic, evolving approach that responds to shifting social, cultural, political, and technological conditions while creating architecture that is deeply engaged with the communities it serves.
