Rem
Koolhaas
Rem Koolhaas (born 1944) is a Dutch architect, theorist, and urbanist, known for radical, research-driven design. Founder of OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), he designed landmark projects like CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, Seattle Central Library, and Casa da Música in Portugal. His book Delirious New York (1978) reshaped urban theory, blending fiction and analysis. Awarded the Pritzker Prize (2000), Koolhaas explores globalization, technology, and urban expansion in architecture. His master plans and cultural buildings challenge conventions, merging pragmatism with conceptual depth. Through architecture and writing, he continues redefining contemporary urbanism and architectural discourse.
