Shohei Shigematsu / OMA — New York

Diplômé de l’Université Kyushu au Japon et de l’Institut Berlage aux Pays-Bas, Shohei Shigematsu est l’un des cinq associés de la firme d’architecture OMA et membre de l’équipe gagnante (OMA/Provencher-Roy/Buro Happold) du récent concours d’architecture pour le nouveau Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ).

OMA was founded in 1975 by Rem Koolhaas, Elia and Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp as a collaborative office practicing architecture and urbanism. The office gained renown through a series of groundbreaking entries in major competitions: Dutch Parliament Extension (1978), Koepel Panopticon Prison (1980), Parc de la Villette, Paris (1982), ZKM, Karlsruhe (1989), Tres Grande Bibliotheque and Two Libraries for Jussieu University, Paris (1993). During these formative years OMA also realized ambitious projects, ranging from private residences to large scale urban plans: Villa dall’Ava, Paris (1991), Nexus Housing, Fukuoka, Japan (1991), the Kunsthal, Rotterdam (1992). In 1994 OMA completed Euralille, a 70-hectare business and civic center in northern France comprising the European hub for high-speed rail.
