	Rem Koolhaas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is the principal of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, or OMA, and of its research-oriented counterpart AMO.
		The notion is the equivalent of "function", the key notion of the early 20th century modern architecture movements.
		In the work of his architectural design office OMA the mode of city forming is seen as the reference plane to weigh up the programming of activities and architecture.

	Archinect : Discussion Forum : Columbia GSAPP, AMO and Archis Mag Join forces?
		AMO operates in tandem with its companion company the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, an internationally renowned firm, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
		My feeling has been all along, however, that architects and architecture are well capable of generating their own publicity, but professional 'decorum' has for the most part made that attitude an ethically and aesthetically wrong position for architects to take.
		He made the point that his office is going to take the lead in becoming "open" and responsive (see open source architecture) in an attempt to change the profession.

	City Living - Living City \| the 6th European Biennial of Towns and Town Planners
		AMO was founded in 1998 as a research and design studio, counterpart to the architectural office OMA.

		Work of the traditional architectural practice, AMO applies architectural thinking to areas usually considered beyond the classical domain of architectural practice, ranging from sociology, technology and history to media and politics.

		The crisis pervades architectural magazines too, which produce "massive amounts of irrelevance," Ole Bouman said; and Mark Wigley noted that there are a million students of architecture in the world who aren’t sharing their knowledge with each other.
		Architecture has always been, secretly, an attempt not just to design a building for the client, but to redesign the client themselves.
		In September last year, AMO created an exhibition for the EU in a circular circus tent in Brussels to try to suggest that the EU can be something more than an edifice of laws and directives: it could be the first major international bloc not based primarily on the force of its armies.

	Archinect : Discussion Forum : AMO asks for your response
		It is clear that, in order for architecture to remain relevant and pleasurable, architects must find ways to escape the confines of their chosen profession.
		Maybe AMO is an old man on antidepressants, or maybe it’s a younger generation searching for an outlet from the depleted and harrowing resources of media.
		AMO relies right now on multiple sources (as many as possible but could always be more) for the stories (sources are always noted in the publication).

	A Daily Dose of Architecture: Magazine "Event" of the Moment
		Archinect reports on the launch of VOLUME, a project by Archis, AMO (the research and design portion of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, aka Rem Koolhaas's office), and CLAB (The Columbia Laboratory for Architectural Broadcasting).
		I'm of the opinion that the more architectural discourse the better (my favorite tagline is Loud Paper's "dedicated to increasing the volume of architectural discourse"), so VOLUME will be a welcome addition.
		I think he is guilty of of proclaiming that 'architecture is over' or 'architecture is irrelevant' just as often...

	Guggenheim Museum - Press Office - Guggenheim Alliance with Gehry and Koolhaas
		Koolhaas, both winners of the Pritzker Prize for architecture, have each been interested in working with the Guggenheim on ways to position the museum internationally, and to emphasize the importance of architecture in the largest possible contemporary cultural context.
		Architecture and culture are a matter of use and engagement, not of aesthetic notions disconnected from a practical contemporary reality.
		To under-emphasize the communicative potential of architecture, or to ignore specific interactions with cultures and geographies that are not our own, is to make a huge mistake.

	Cornell News: Rem Koolhaas talk
		Architecture today, Koolhaas said, is deeply affected by globalization and by its dependence on private rather than public commissions.
		Koolhaas, who studied architecture at Cornell in the early 1970s, was introduced by AAP dean and architect Mohsen Mostafavi.
		He also leads OMA's research branch, AMO, whose aim, he said in his lecture, "is to experiment with the notion that architectural thinking is worth a lot." Recent AMO projects include image restructuring for Condé Nast magazines Lucky and Wired and a study on the future of the automobile for Volkswagen.

		The many facets of Koolhaas come under review: his take on architectural theory and the conceptual apparatus he employs, his vision of urbanism and the contemporary city, the designs put into practice by OMA and the research projects of the AMO think-tank, which exist outside the immediate boundaries of architecture.
		It is becoming increasingly important for architects to operate on a level independent of architecture, in order to understand, at the most basic level, the phenomena affecting the development of architecture and the city.
		Delirious New York is a retroactive manifesto of Manhattan's architectural enterprise: it untangles the theories, tactics and dissimulations that allowed New York's architects to establish the desires of Manhattan's collective unconscious in the Grid.

		"Architecture is too slow," Koolhaas writes in a typically lucid and prickly essay (nearly every other Content writer imitates his style).
		Content's mania for full dis- closure (the humility beneath the bravado) means that sometimes all the thinking is done for you, and the speedy approach persistently turns slapdash: Many of the graphics don't do justice to fascinating demographic data.
		The building, to be completed in 2008, is bigger and more ambitious than anything OMA could do in the West: A loop instead of a skyscraper, it implies flow and interconnectedness rather than hierarchy.

		The speed of international demands is completely out of pace with the ability of traditional designers to respond; construction has left architecture on the sidelines.
		In collaboration with the Dutch government, OMA developed a plan to solve one of global expansion's critical problems: Major airports in many Western countries are running out of room.

		The bimonthly publication will feature content from the Columbia Laboratory for Architectural Broadcasting, a research unit within GSAPP, and the research wing of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, known as AMO (the reverse initials of Koolhaas' firm).
		The theme will be how to move "beyond magazine, office and school." Eleven GSAPP faculty members, including Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture Karl Chu, Associate Professor Michael Bell and Assistant Professor Yolande Daniels, have written short articles in the inaugural issue, each discussing their views on how the field of architecture can change and grow.

		This affirmation takes the hyperbolic stance of the cutting edge of broadcast media and much of new media, which often assert their placement at the "bleeding edge" of culture.
