Well into its fourth decade, the Office for Metropolitan
Architecture (OMA), founded by Rem Koolhaas in 1975, remains one of
the most influential and successful practices of its kind. OMA
describes itself as a firm operating within the traditional
boundaries of architecture and urbanism that applies architectural
thinking to domains beyond. The firm s impact on the way we live is
undeniable. OMA has transformed our understanding of the city and
our evolving relationship with art, shopping, sustainability, and
other quintessentially twenty-first-century preoccupations. The
works presented here elaborate on OMA s philosophy even as they
expand its portfolio geographically. Featured projects (helmed by
partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long) include residential
skyscrapers in New York and San Francisco, mixed-use developments
in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and the master plans for Facebook s Menlo
Park campus, alongside more intimate spaces such as the studio for
renowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Permanent structures, such
as Milstein Hall at Cornell University, the new galleries of Quebec
s Musee National des Beaux-Arts, the Japan flagship of Coach, and
the expansion of the New Museum in Manhattan, contrast vividly with
temporary interventions such as the Manus x Machina exhibition at
the Met Costume Institute and the soaring concrete columns of An
Occupation of Loss.
