About Rem Koolhaas:

Rem Koolhaas (born in Rotterdam in 1944) is the founder of OMA. He founded OMA in 1975 with Ilya and Zoe Zheng Harris and Metro Friesend. Koolhaas graduated from the London Building Alliance and published "The Madden New York - A Retrospective Manifesto of Manhattan" in 1978.

In 1995, he summed up the work of OMA in the form of "an architectural novel" in his book "Small, Medium, Large, and Oversized." Koolhaas leads OMA and AMO (a research studio complementary to OMA), working in areas that go beyond architectural practice, as well as media, politics, renewable energy and fashion.
