REX Architecture

REX is an international architecture and design firm led by Joshua Prince-Ramus. Current projects include the Perelman Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center, in New York City; the Mercedes-Benz Future Lab in Stuttgart, Germany; a 4,300 m² (46,300 sf) private residence on Long Island; the re-cladding and interior renovation of Five Manhattan West, a 140,000 m² (1.5 million sf) Brutalist landmark straddling Penn Station’s rail yard in New York City; and a new office building in Washington, DC that will host the CBS Washington bureau, among other tenants. The firm has also designed the Seattle Central Library, the AT&T Performing Arts Center Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre in Dallas, Texas and the Vakko Fashion Center in Istanbul, Turkey. Prince-Ramus was the founding partner of OMA New York—the American affiliate of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in the Netherlands—and served as its Principal until he rebranded the firm REX in 2006. While REX was still known as OMA New York, Prince-Ramus was Partner in Charge of the Guggenheim-Hermitage Museum in Las Vegas and the Seattle Central Library.
