Oma - Progress, Barbican

Oma have exhibited pieces of their work to the barbican these works vary from hand written notes, to large modelled details, material samples and the thought process behind some of their projects.

The exhibit holds a strong interest to myself as i was heavily influenced by the cctv tower in my university project last year, the model and in-depth knowledge into their buildings was interesting to see, the work displayed represents a strong expression the OMA philosophy.

Pieces of particular interest were the large detail of the cctv construction, the left over glazed panels, some beautiful models, glazing experiments, their use of displaying information/ research collected, the underwater blasted external cladding sample.
