This podcast episode, titled "OMA at 50," features a discussion about the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and its influence on architectural culture. Host Richard Hall is joined by Laura Schrijver and Pier Paolo Tamburelli to explore the concept of Metropolitan Architecture, the genesis of OMA, and the influences that shaped the firm's early work, including Rossi, Ungers, and Soviet constructivism. They delve into OMA's key projects, the significance of Rem Koolhaas' "Delirious New York," and the firm's later concepts like the generic city and bigness, debating whether OMA's work still holds relevance in today's architectural landscape and the impact of neoliberalism on urban structures.
