Rem Koolhaas and his team presented the design for Milstein Hall, the newest building of the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art and Planning (AAP). Groundbreaking for the 43,000-square-foot Milstein Hall will take place in 2007 directly behind Sibley Hall and adjacent to the Foundry and Rand Hall.
The new building will offer a vibrant and flexible public space, with studios, library, presentation and exhibition areas, a lobby and an auditorium/boardroom. Milstein Hall will facilitate collaboration between the departments in the already existing buildings.
Koolhaas will lead the project along with OMA Associate Shohei Shigematsu.

Loft Project in Jersey City, N.J.

Rem Koolhaas intends to design a 1.3 million square feet building near the waterfront, which will include 710 condominium units, and 120 "work-live units", some of which will be offered to artists at below-market rate. The plan calls for 16,000 square feet of gallery space and about 52,000 square feet for retail businesses.
Whether the existing 13-block warehouse district will be incorporated, used partially, or torn down remains to be seen.
