Summary
As the partner running the New York outpost of Rem Koolhaas’s legendary firm OMA, this architect has done that rarest of things: established himself as a cultural figure in his own right. On this Season 13 finale, Dan speaks with Shigematsu about growing up in the heyday of 1980s Japan, how his love of filmmaking inspired his career in architecture, how he nailed his job interview with Koolhaas, his soon-to-be-completed expansion of Manhattan’s New Museum, and more.
