KLUNDER ARCHITECTEN Competitors

Foster + Partners is a global studio for architecture, urbanism and design, all rooted in sustainability and founded by Norman Foster in 1967. Since then, he and the team around him have established an international practice with a worldwide reputation. With offices across the globe, we work as a single studio that is both ethnically and culturally diverse.

OMA is an international practice operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism. AMO, a research and design studio, applies architectural thinking to domains beyond. OMA is led by seven partners – Rem Koolhaas, Reinier de Graaf, Shohei Shigematsu, Iyad Alsaka, Chris van Duijn, Jason Long, and Managing Partner – Architect David Gianotten – and maintains offices in Rotterdam, New York, Hong Kong and Australia. OMA-designed buildings currently under construction are the New Museum extension in New York City, the Museo Egizio in Turin, Dhaka Tower in Bangladesh, Palais de Justice in Lille, the Hangzhou Prism, the CMG Times Center in Shenzhen, and the Bajes Kwartier in Amsterdam.

As an experienced studio with a global presence, a balance of hands-on capabilities and artistic sensitivity is at the core of our design language. With it is an unending call for adaptability and responsiveness. We are redefining beauty by the lasting impact of our designs. Founded in 1959 by Danish architect Henning Larsen – whose legacy of creativity and learning we carry today – we navigate the complex connections that bind together our built environment, ecological systems, and societies at large. Working across architecture, landscape, urban design and interiors, we maintain acute attention to detail whilst never losing sight of the bigger picture. It is this that enables us to manifest lasting change as we co-create, innovate, and cultivate desirable futures through design. With more than 600 employees, our design community is spread across studios in eight countries.
