In an interview recorded at REX in Brooklyn, New York,
George Smart sat down with architect Josh
Ramus. The Huffington Post named him one of the five
greatest architects under 50. Wallpaper Magazine described him as
one of the world's most influential young architects. Esquire
Magazine dubbed him the young saviour of American architecture.
Icon Magazine called him one of the 20 Essential Young Architects.
And Popular Mechanics said “Josh who? Is he that cold fusion
guy?”
Graduating from Harvard in Architecture in 1996, Ramus worked for
Rem
Koolhaas before forming his own practice, REX, in
2006. Like many famous architects, Charles Gwathmey and
Richard Meier
come to mind, his mom helped him get the project that
rocket-launched his career. He has been a Visiting Professor at
Yale, Rice, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, and Syracuse. And in his spare
time, he trained for the Olympics!
