For the first time since 1996, Rem Koolhaas, founding principal of Rotterdam-based architecture firm Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), will speak in Washington, D.C. The world-renowned architect will participate in the Spotlight on Design lecture series at the National Building Museum (NBM) Monday, April 24.
In addition to sharing his views on the state of architecture today, Koolhaas will discuss his recent and current projects. He has completed, or is currently working on store designs for Prada, the Seattle Public Library, the McCormick Tribune Campus Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the CCTV Television Station and Headquarters in Beijing. Attendees can pick up signed copies of his books in NBM's museum shop upon completion of the lecture, which is equivalent to 1.5 CEU.
Priced at $25 for museum members, $35 nonmembers, and $15 students, the event will run from 7pm to 8:30pm. Prepaid registration is required, and can be made online or via phone at 202-272-2448.
Spotlight on Design is sponsored by building materials manufacturer Lafarge North America, with additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. The series features a revolving roster of architects and designers of distinction.
