Rem Koolhaas: "a prophet of new modern architecture"

Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas is the winner of the 2000 Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honor. The Pritzker jury called him "a prophet of modern architecture" and cited his "creative talent to confront seemingly insoluble or constrictive problems with brilliant and original solutions" – many of which feature the innovative use of laminated glass.

Laminated Glass News interviewed senior architects at Koolhaas's Rotterdam-based firm, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) about Koolhaas's recent projects. Read about some of the firm's recent projects in the following articles:
