Planet Earth – A vision of how the world can be run on renewable energy by 2050
Written by a huge number of people from WWF, together with some from `Ecofys (a Dutch renewable energy consultancy), the report has been designed by AMO, the consulting arm of Rem Koolhaas’ OMA. The report’s stated aim is to show how the world can be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050. -- Architecrural Review

Rotterdam, The Netherlands – Rem Koolhaas' OMA tackles energy interdependency in Europe
At first blush, Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and management consultancy McKinsey & Company make odd bedfellows. But Koolhaas has always operated where most architects fear to tread. With Roadmap 2050, launched in April, AMO, OMA’s research consultancy - has applied lateral thinking and visualisation to the issue of energy interdependency between nations.
Asked by the European Climate Foundation think tank to consider how the European Union can meet its climate change commitment (an 80 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050, over 1990 levels) AMO participated in a team that included McKinsey, Imperial College London, energy consultancy KEMA and analyst Oxford Economics to map scenarios for meeting the target. -- Architectural Review

A sprawling show in London tries to capture the manic pace and self-conscious ways of Rem’s firm.
Organized by the Belgian design collective Rotor, the exhibition includes stools made from the same blue foam that OMA uses for its study-models. -- Architectural Record
