Seattle Public Library
Tibor Jones & Associates are delighted to celebrate a new exhibition of their clients, the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) at the Barbican from October 6th to February 19th, 2012.
PROGRESS is a stunning overview of the way the world’s leading and most forward thinking architecture firm have worked providing insights into their famous Seattle Public Library build, the CCTV in Beijing and projects that never were, such as a long gestating book on Lagos. The project is overseen by Belgian curators Rotor and hard to find books from Tibor Jones’ author and OMA co-founder Rem Koolhaas will be on sale.

‘Visiting the offices of Rotterdam is always a treat,’ says Tibor Jones & Associates co-founder Kevin Conroy Scott. ‘You get a bird’s eye view on the world through what Rem and his colleagues are planning, to think that they are going to open up that process to the rest of the world is genuinely exciting and I dare say unprecedented.’ There will be a number of talks during the season, including the partners of OMA in conversation together on October 25th, an event that is already sold out.
