OMA – AMO · Rem Koolhaas
OMA is a leading international partnership practicing architecture, urbanism, and cultural analysis. OMA’s buildings and masterplans around the world insist on intelligent forms while inventing new possibilities for content and everyday use. OMA is led by ten partners – Rem Koolhaas, Ellen van Loon, Reinier de Graaf, Shohei Shigematsu, Iyad Alsaka, David Gianotten, Chris van Duijn, Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, Jason Long and Michael Kokora – and maintains offices in Rotterdam, New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Doha and Dubai.
OMA-designed buildings currently under construction include Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, Taipei Performing Arts Centre, Qatar National Library, Qatar Foundation Headquarters, Bibliothèque Multimédia à Vocation Régionale in Caen, Bryghusprojektet in Copenhagen, Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, and Faena Arts Center in Miami.

Known as much for his theoretical proposals as for his provocative buildings, Rem Koolhaas has become one of the most influential contemporary architects. The first monograph that AV devotes to the Dutch covers his latest period, focused on heritage, history and ecology, and presents buildings carried out by his Rotterdam office since 2000, the year Koolhaas picked up the Pritzker Prize. With an essay and twelve critical texts by Luis Fernández-Galiano, the monograph includes buildings completed by the studio over the last fifteen years: starting with the Prada Epicenter in New York and closing with the Fondazione Prada recently inaugurated in Milan, the issue also features emblematic buildings like the Dutch Embassy in Berlin, the Seattle Central Library, the Casa da Música in Porto or the CCTV in Beijing, and recent openings like De Rotterdam or the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow. Furthermore, ten projects in three different continents – among them the Taipei Performing Arts Center, the Musée National des Beaux-Arts of Quebec or the Axel Springer Campus in Berlin – take stock of the growing international presence of the Rotterdam studio, which has set up offices also in New York, Hong Kong, Doha and Dubai.
Conocido tanto por sus propuestas teóricas como por sus provocadores edificios, Rem Koolhaas se ha convertido en uno de los arquitectos contemporáneos más influyentes. La primera monografía que AV dedica al holandés cubre su última faceta, volcada en el patrimonio, la historia y la ecología, y recorre el trabajo desarrollado por su oficina a partir de 2000 —año en que Koolhaas recibió el Pritzker—. Acompañada de un ensayo y doce textos críticos de Luis Fernández-Galiano, la publicación recorre la obra construida por el estudio durante los últimos quince años: desde la tienda para Prada en Nueva York hasta la sede para la fundación que la firma italiana ha abierto en Milán, pasando por edificios tan emblemáticos como la embajada de los Países Bajos en Berlín, la Biblioteca Central de Seattle, la Casa da Música en Oporto o la sede de la CCTV en Pekín, e incluyendo inauguraciones recientes como el complejo De Rotterdam en su ciudad natal o el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Garage en Moscú. Además, diez proyectos repartidos por tres continentes —entre ellos el Centro de Artes Escénicas de Taipei, el Museo de Bellas Artes de Quebec o la nueva sede para Axel Springer en Berlín— muestran la creciente proyección internacional del estudio de Rotterdam, que tiene ya oficinas en Nueva York, Hong Kong, Doha y Dubái.
