Greg Lynn

Greg Lynn is an American architect born in 1964 in North Olmsted, Ohio, and founder of Greg Lynn FORM in Los Angeles. Trained at Miami University and Princeton, he was among the first architects to use animation and parametric software as design tools, coining the term blob architecture and editing the influential 1993 issue Folding in Architecture.

His studio has worked across buildings, products and installations, from the New York Presbyterian Church in Queens to the Embryological House, Alessi’s Tea and Coffee Towers and the Ravioli chair for Vitra. Lynn won the Golden Lion at the 2008 Venice Biennale, teaches at UCLA and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and is co-founder and CEO of the robotics company Piaggio Fast Forward.
