Santa Monica Rejects Hugely Hyped Rem Koolhaas Project
Sorry, Santa Moncia, but Rem Koolhaas will not be designing your new Plaza. Back in July a panel picked the renowned architect's proposed design for the Plaza at Santa Monica at Fourth and Arizona. That design recommendation has now been rejected 5-1.

The council was also concerned about the lack of housing in the proposal.
Instead of Koolhaas’ design, the council has asked Related Cos. to submit revised proposals.
