For the final conversation in the Don Powell Distinguished Architect Series, we welcome Joshua Ramus. He is founding principal of REX, a New York-based architecture and design firm whose current projects include the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center and The Lindemann Performing Arts Center at Brown University (both nearing completion). Joshua was a founding partner of OMA New York in 2001 and remained its principal until he re-branded the firm as REX in 2006. In that time, he was partner-in-charge of all the firm’s projects, including the Guggenheim-Hermitage Museum in Las Vegas and the Seattle Central Library. Ramus talks with New York Magazine critic Justin Davidson about the opportunities and challenges created by a post-pandemic, climate-challenged, and socially conscious environment.
