Très Grande Bibliothèque, OMA's 1989 project for a national library in Paris, is being exhumed from the archive for an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal. The exhibition, curated by Rem Koolhaas and Clément Blanchet, presents models, drawings and research produced by OMA in response to an international competition launched by France's then president, François Mitterrand. OMA's design was for a giant cube with areas of emptiness that would accommodate the library's various functions - a "strategy of the void".

Today OMA participated in the official construction completion ceremony for the China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters in Beijing, which will start to be used later this year. Designed by OMA as a reinvention of the skyscraper as a loop, construction on the building began in 2004. At approximately 473, 000m², CCTV - accommodating TV studios, offices, broadcasting and production facilities - is OMA's largest ever project and its first major building in China.

OMA's design for the stage set at the Greek Theatre in Syracuse, Sicily, was inaugurated today with the performance of Aeschylus's Prometheus Unbound (directed by Claudio Longhi). The scenography features three temporary architectural devices that reinterpret the spaces of the theatre, which dates from the 5th century BCE.

Artist Marina Abramovic has commissioned OMA to develop a former theater in Hudson, upstate New York, into the Marina Abramović Institute for the Preservation of Performance Art (MAI). The project, led by Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas in OMA's New York office, marries Abramović's 40 years of pioneering work in the genre with OMA's innovation in theatres, museums and curation. Listen to the press conference, with Abramović, Shigematsu, P.S.1 director Klaus Biesenbach, Stefano Boeri and MAI director Serge Le Borgne, here.
