About OMA
OMA is an international practice operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism. OMA is led by eight partners—Rem Koolhaas, Ellen van Loon, Reinier de Graaf, Shohei Shigematsu, and David Gianotten, Iyad Alsaka, Chris van Duijn, and Jason Long. Established in 2001, OMA New York is responsible for OMA’s operations in the Americas and Japan and has since overseen the successful completion of several buildings across the United States, including Milstein Hall at Cornell University; the Faena Forum, a multi-purpose cultural venue in Miami Beach; the Pierre Lassonde Pavilion, an extension to the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec; and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion for Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles.
