Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is constantly exploring new materials for the built environment. For the McCormick Tribune Campus Center at IIT, Chicago, OMA utilized translucent materials for unique window glazing and surfaces; a select number of these desks were utilized in one area of the interior. This example was acquired directly from OMA at the same time the building was completed.
