AIA Convention 2016 will be held in Philadelphia between May 19-21, 2016 and the conference presents diverse, striking and innovative speakers from different fields. According to press release, on the 3rd day of the conference Rem Koolhaas, founder and partner of Office Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), will be the keynote speaker with his thought-provoking talk ''Delirious Philadelphia''. 

In the announcement, Koolhaas emphasized as a  ''a kick in the pants from Koolhaas'' by restating his ''unapologetic critique of politics and urban design is a call to arms for ambitious architects'' phenomenon. This year's conference will be the most interesting one that catches the fire with inspiration from one of the world’s most visionary collaborators. Rem Koolhaas has been reimagining our cities since 1978’s publication of Delirious New York, a manifesto on modern urban design that was instantly hailed as a classic text.

What can cities be? What can architects be? What can you be? Catch up to your imagination, and catch Koolhaas on May 21.
