Rem Koolhaas Wows Portugal

Monday April 11, 2005
Move over Frank Gehry. Rem Koolhaas's new building in Oporto, Portugal will turn heads and draw tourists in droves. The main hall of his Casa da Musica is a rectangular box that pierces through an oddly shaped, off balance concrete form. Corrugated glass panels add to the other-worldly feel.
