Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 19, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Thom! May your celebrations be as bold and innovative as the striking buildings you've gifted us. From co-founding SCI-Arc in 1971 to shaping skylines with Morphosis, you’ve proven that architecture can indeed have attitude—lots of it!

Here's hoping this year stacks up even higher than your iconic designs. Keep defying gravity (and convention) while inspiring generations who still wonder how on earth those daring angles stay upright. Cheers to another groundbreaking trip around the sun; may your birthday cake require structural engineering approval before slicing into it!
