<p>This week, we focus on the words and ideas of Shohei Shigematsu, a rising partner at the <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/382/oma" target="_blank">Office for Metropolitan Architecture</a> (OMA) and director of OMA New York who has had a hand in shaping some of the most iconic, revolutionary, and witty architectural projects of the last decade, including the CCTV tower in Beijing, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Cornell University's Milstein Hall, and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles, among many others. Through some of the collected lectures by Shigematsu, we are able to peer into the layered and highly responsive design ethos that has fueled Shigematsu's rise.</p>

When you're at your wit's end, it can be tempting to send the same exact resume to what feels like the same <a href="http://archinect.com/jobs" target="_blank">job ad</a> over and over again. However, no two <a href="http://archinect.com/firms" target="_blank">firms</a> are identical and there are particular qualities and red flags that a firm won't always simply list on their job ad. In Archinect's <a href="http://archinect.com/features/tag/802122/how-to-get-a-job-at-______" target="_blank">“How To Get A Job At ____”</a>, we asked some architecture firms how candidates can stand out from the crowd when applying to their practice.</p>

This is the expanded view or the bonus features that we may add to the official documentation of a project. Each entry in this series is a story about the building told from an intensely personal perspective.</p>
