The collapse of the New York office of OMA

Since the end of March, information has been leaking about a turbulent situation within the New York branch of OMA. In yesterday's press release, Joshua Prince-Ramus announced that the existing OMA office has transformed into REX (Ramus Ella Architects) and will operate completely independently of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Both offices have divided ongoing projects on North American soil. Starting June 1, 2006, REX will move to its new office, which will be just a block south of the current OMA, and will also begin using its own internet and email address. Info>
