Rem Koolhaas, one of the designers of the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, will discuss the future of theatre design in the innovative Wyly Theatre. Koolhaas was a co-founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975. His book S, M, L, XL summarized the work of OMA and established connections between contemporary society and architecture. He heads the work of both OMA and AMO, the conceptual brand of his firm focused on social, economic and technological developments, which also explores territories beyond architectural and urban concerns. Koolhaas is a professor at Harvard where he conducts the Project on the City. Koolhaas has won numerous awards including the Pritzker Prize in 2000, the Praemium Imperiale, the RIBA Gold Medal, the Mies van der Rohe prize and the European Prize for Contemporary Architecture.
