Architect, academic and writer, Reiner de Graaf is a partner of OMA and director of AMO, the practice’s think tank and research studio based in Rotterdam. AMO’s work extends beyond architecture to encompass media, politics, sociology, renewable energy, technology, fashion, curating, publishing, and graphic design. In addition to his work for AMO, De Graaf is responsible for a number of the OMA's building and master-planning projects in Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. In this lecture, part of our ‘Architecture and Freedom’ season, de Graaf considers architecture’s social, economic and political role in today’s globalised world.
