Jim Dayton is the architect behind many innovative Twin Cities buildings, including Minnetonka Center for the Arts, Bookman Lofts, Bookman Stacks and now MacPhail Center for Music. Dayton's first job in architecture was with Frank Gehry's Santa Monica, California firm. In this interview, we learn more about Dayton's thinking behind material choices at MacPhail: Zinc, Cor-ten steel, etc. We also find out why he chose to work for Gehry and not Thom Mayne at Morphosis after graduation.
