“McBean Distinguished Lecture”

Rem Koolhaas founded the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975 together with Elia and Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp. He graduated at the Architectural Association in London and in 1978 published Delirious New York, a Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan. In 1995, his book S,M,L,XL summarized the work of OMA and established connections between contemporary society and architecture. He is heading the work of OMA and AMO, the conceptual branch of OMA focused on social, economical and technological developments and exploring territories beyond architectural and urban concerns. Rem Koolhaas is a professor at Harvard University where he conducts the Project on the City. The McBean Distinguished Lectureship is endowed by generous support from the McBean Family Foundation.

(Seating for this event will be very limited and SFAI students will be given priority. After students have been seated, public seating will be on a first come, first served basis, and there will be a live video-feed in the cafe.)
