When fans heard that the home of the late science fiction master Ray Bradbury had all but disappeared, there was a kind of mourning. Some preservationists said the house in Cheviot Hills might have been a historic landmark. But it turns out that the man who destroyed it is a master in his own right: Thom Mayne has been called one of the world's premier architects.

Frances Anderton, host of KCRW's DnA, discovered that Mayne and his wife, Blythe Alison-Mayne have plans that might have intrigued Ray Bradbury.
