<p>The other day I was reading a book on Morphosis and said that Pritzker Prize winner Thom Mayne taugh at Cal Poly… was it Pomona or San Luis Obispo?</p>
<p>He might’ve taught at Cal Poly because it’s in California but I believe he is based in either SCI-ARC (he helped found the school) or UCLA. He also teaches at other schools as well. I had him for a studio last summer at Cornell. He is an incredible guy</p>
<p>Pomona

<p>Thank you for the reply! He went to CP Pomona</p>
<p>Pomona being close to Los Angeles gets a good share of highly talented design professors. Currently, Michael Fox is a young professor from MIT that wrote and interesting book called Interactive Architecture. You should check it out. In addition, you’ll find that there’s a lot more interesting architecture to study in Los Angeles, such as the mid century modern homes of Schindler and Richard Neutra, whose home is currently owned and operated by Cal Poly Pomona. On the other hand, San Luis Obispo is in a nice coastal setting but it does not draw many talented architects as it is too far from the big cities. It’s highly rated in technical aspects such getting students ready for the workforce and computer stuff, but if you want to get design exposure, Pomona’s a better bet. You’ll have enough time to learn how to draft in the real world.</p>
