REX is transforming the field of architecture with an approach that goes BEYOND just looks!
The globally renowned architecture and design firm is based in New York City and led by visionary Joshua Ramus. Similar to Clayco, REX recognizes the value in the Art & Science of Building and believes that architecture should empower its users, making spaces that are both functional and inspiring. Ramus originally co-led the New York office of OMA before branching out on his own to start REX. His goal was to rethink the way buildings are designed, focusing on making spaces that genuinely serve the people who use them. Since then, REX has continued to expand worldwide and is known for creating buildings that uplift the communities around them.
From cultivating iconic spaces for theater like the Perelman Performing Arts Center at the World Trade Center in New York and the Lindemann Performing Arts Center at Brown University in Providence to mixed-use skyscrapers in Perth, Australia, premium office buildings such as 2050 M Street and many more – this firm can imagine and realize diverse spaces that encourage people to gather, share experiences, and connect. I admire REX’s ability to create incredible public architecture that pushes traditional boundaries, turning places like theaters and offices into flexible, community-driven spaces that shape the way we interact with our surroundings.
With various projects underway worldwide, including residential towers in Brooklyn and cultural hubs in South Korea, REX proves that great architecture can be creative, inclusive, and put people first. Being twice-named by Fast Company as one of the World’s 10 Most Innovative Companies in Architecture and included in its 2024 list of the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World along with a multitude of other awards, including AIA National Honor Awards, Time magazine’s Building of the Year, and recognized internationally in competitions like the Aga Khan Award and Architectural Digest’s AD100, REX’s revolutionary work speaks for itself!
REX is redefining architecture and showcasing how businesses with a solid set of values can move industries forward. As we build the communities of tomorrow, it’s crucial to embrace diversity and inclusivity to construct spaces that resonate with people from all walks of life. REX’s projects are proof that when design meets purpose, architecture can evolve the built environment AND the people it serves.
Let’s keep going!
