OMA has won an architecture competition for the $80 million expansion of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. The project will be the firm’s first art museum project in the United States.
Stack the Decks: Architect Ole Scheeren hypothesized that dense urban residential living didn't have to occur in an isolating skyscraper—and he was right.
Ole Scheeren is no stranger to megaprojects. As a former partner and director at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), he led the design and construction of the 5.1 million-square-foot CCTV Headquarters in Beijing and was the lead designer of the MahaNakhon Tower in Bangkok, which, when completed in 2016, will be the tallest in the city at 77 stories and 1,030 feet.
