Thomas Mical is an academic who has practiced architecture with SOM and Murphy/Jahn in Chicago, after completing his M.Arch. at the Harvard GSD. He edited the anthology Surrealism and Architecture (Routledge, 2005). As a recent appointment at the University of South Australia School of Architecture, his current teaching and research investigates architectural theory, idealism, and the imagination. He is particularly interested in expanded notions of disciplinary uses of new ways of seeing and sensing, and how these might lead to new design methodologies and protocols.
