Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript -
Uma Arqueologia Do Programa De Rem Koolhaas Adriana Veras Vasconcelos, Doutoranda Pelo MDU-UFPE E Upenn, Professora Assistente Do Depto
Simpósio Temático: Da arte de construir à inteligência arquitetônica Megaestructura e Metrópole: Uma arqueologia do programa de Rem Koolhaas Adriana Veras Vasconcelos, Doutoranda pelo MDU-UFPE e UPenn, Professora Assistente do Depto. de Arquitetura da UFPB Fernando Diniz Moreira, Ph.D., Professor Adjunto do Depto. de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da UFPE 1 Resumo Termos como fragmentação, heterogeneidade, descontinuidade e imaterialidade têm sido constantemente usados para descrever a metrópole contemporânea. A tecnologia da informação e a justaposição de fluxos e realidades parecem enfraquecer uma tradição arquitetônica consolidada, baseada na tríade venustas, commoditas e utilitas. No entanto, estas mesmas características podem também estimular uma nova forma de pensar e fazer arquitetura. Nesse contexto, Rem Koolhaas é um dos arquitetos que mais tem explorado a metrópole como estratégia projetual, expondo a instabilidade da condição urbana atual. Originalmente jornalista e cineasta, Koolhaas publicou Delirious New York, um dos mais importantes manifestos da arquitetura contemporânea. Ele aceita a submissão da arquitetura à aparente falta ordem, fragmentação e heterogeneidade da metrópole contemporânea. Segundo ele, a metrópole é estruturada pela concentração e superposição de vários sistemas urbanos. Sua dinâmica é mantida pela congestão de atividades, espaços e programas que devem ser articulados por bigness: mecanismo arquitetônico capaz de sustentar uma proliferação de eventos em um único edifício. Para Koolhaas, a tarefa da arquitetura não é mais organizar o espaço com elementos permanentes, mas expor o caos da cidade no próprio edifício. O objetivo deste trabalho é oferecer uma arqueologia da obra de Koolhaas, estabelecendo conexões entre o pensamento arquitetônico e urbanístico das décadas de 1960 e 1970 suas idéias e entre estas e seus projetos construídos. -

IV. Scene of Maturity
revised on 2010.10.16 IV. Scene of maturity Chapter IV IV- 1 8. Soaring into chaos (1) Ellipse and chaos formation of neo-baroque The aim of post-modernism was to first raise objection against the monistic system brought about by modern rationalism. This negative dialectic produced many breaks and fractures. The monistic system first became dualistic and then pluralistic. New problems were brought in by this process, and opposing paths led to either expanding this pluralistic set of styles into chaos or reintegrating them into some new method. The logic of style proceeded in this way. This problem prompted the mannerism of the 16th century and was a theme that occurred during the downfall of the ideal of the monistic formal order such as the central-plan or proportions of the renaissance. Michelangelo placed a semi-circular dome on the square plan of the Medici chapel showing the posture to inherit the high renaissance in the early half of the 16th century, and then he drew an elliptical shape in the stone paving in the Piazza del Campidoglio showing the posture to move to mannerism in the middle of the 16th century. This was used as a trick that created a distortion in the field of view by matching the trapezoidal square with the aim of creating the illusionary effect of a perspective drawing method. After this, elliptical shapes became extremely popular, such as in Piazza San Pietro in the Vatican designed by Bernini in the middle of the 17th century, and elliptical shapes became a key symbol of baroque style. -

Rem Koolhaas 2000 Laureate Biography
Rem Koolhaas 2000 Laureate Biography His writing gained him recognition as a visionary early in his career; later the combination of architecture, urban planning, research and writing solidified Rem Koolhaas’ reputation. However with many major projects completed, it is not that easy to recognize an identifiable style. He considers that a compliment because working in so many different environments and under so many different conditions, the finished work must be different too. He’s been called a modernist by some, and a deconstructivist by others, but he really defies categorization. Rem Koolhaas was born in Rotterdam in 1944. By the time he was eight years old, his father who was a writer, theatre critic and director of a film school, was invited by the government of Indonesia to become their cultural director, so Rem spent four years growing up in an exotic environment, before moving back to the Netherlands. He began his career as a journalist with Haagse Post in The Hague, and later tried his hand at screen writing both in the Netherlands and Hollywood. He had a script produced by Dutch director Rene Daalder, which he describes as an allegory using images from B movies as a commentary on contemporary Europe. By 1968, he attended the Architecture Association School in London. In 1972, he received a Harkness Fellowship for research in the United States. He studied with O.M. Ungers at Cornell University for a year, and then became a visiting Fellow at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York. It was while in New York that he wrote Delirious New York self-described as a “retroactive manifesto for Manhattan”. -
