The global firm OMA has worked extensively in renovation, retail and the arts—often in an engaging mix of all three. In exploring such recent projects as the BLOX exhibition center in Copenhagen and the Fondation Galeries Lafayette for contemporary art in Paris--as well as the adaptive re-use of the Factory in Manchester cultural venue, the ongoing restoration and re-thinking of the KaDeWe department store in Berlin and the ground-up building in Vienna that will combine a KaDeWe store and hotel, van Loon will discuss the profound, positive impact of the architecture on the surrounding urban context.

Ellen van Loon joined Rem Koolhaas' OMA in 1998 and has since led award-winning building projects including Casa da Musica in Porto (2005) – winner of the 2007 RIBA Award, & and the Dutch Embassy in Berlin (2003) – winner of the European Union Mies van der Rohe Award in 2005. The architect made significant contributions to De Rotterdam (the tallest building in the Netherlands) and is currently working on the arts center Factory Manchester, renovations of the Dutch Parliament in The Hague, and a new building for Brighton College in England.
