    Guggenheim and AMO / Rem Koolhaas Announce Research Project Culminating in February 2020 Exhibition Countryside: Future of the World to Examine Radical Changes Transforming the Nonurban Landscape (NEW YORK, NY—November 29, 2017)—The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, and AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), will collaborate on a project exploring radical changes in the countryside, the vast nonurban areas of Earth. The project extends work underway by AMO / Koolhaas and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and will culminate in a rotunda exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in February 2020. Organized by Guggenheim Curator of Architecture and Digital Initiatives Troy Conrad Therrien, Founding Partner of OMA Rem Koolhaas, and AMO Director Samir Bantal, Countryside: Future of the World (working title) will present speculations about tomorrow through insights into the countryside of today. The exhibition will explore artificial intelligence and automation, the effects of genetic experimentation, political radicalization, mass and micro migration, large-scale territorial management, human-animal ecosystems, subsidies and tax incentives, the impact of the digital on the physical world, and other developments that are altering landscapes across the globe. “The Guggenheim has an appetite for experimentation and a founding belief in the transformative potential of art and architecture,” said Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation.

  • 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

  • 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”.

  • Aims and Characteristics
    UNIT 2: Postmodern architecture evolved from the modernist movement, yet contradicts many of the modernist ideas. Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse. Familiar shapes and details are used in unexpected ways. Buildings may incorporate symbols to make a statement or simply to delight the viewer. The key ideas of Postmodernism are set forth in two important books by Robert Venturi:Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture and Learning from Las Vegas. Postmodern architecture began as an international style the first examples of which are generally cited as being from the 1950s, but did not become a movement until the late 1970s[1] and continues to influence present- day architecture. Postmodernity in architecture is said to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. As with many cultural movements, some of Postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of themodernist style are replaced by diverse aesthetics: styles collide, form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound. Perhaps most obviously, architects rediscovered the expressive and symbolic value of architectural elements and forms that had evolved through centuries of building which had been abandoned by the modern style. Influential early large-scale examples of postmodern architecture are Michael Graves' Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and Philip Johnson's Sony Building (originally AT&T Building) in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

  • The Operative Criticism of Rem Koolhaas
    380 Re.Building The Operative Criticism of Rem Koolhaas FRANCES HSU Georgia Institute of Technology together set the parameters for criticality today. With these ongoing efforts, Koolhaas situates capitalism as today’s new and sometimes terrifying sublime. The relationship between the historian and the architect began in Manhattan at the Institute of Architecture and Urban Studies. It is personal, anecdotal, and historical, with evidence of subjects, citations, and images shared by their writings. Tafuri, who shaped the paradigm of criticality operating today, formulated his position by combining terms from art, language, and psychology. Koolhaas precisely and purposefully relied on those terms used by Tafuri to create Figure 1: From SMLXL, pp. 432-433 and implement retroaction—an ironic refutation of operative criticism negating Tafuri’s position that modern architecture could not be critical due to INTRODUCTION economic conditions for the production of buildings. The evolution of criticality in the work of Rem Koolhaas has in fact been precisely and strategically Koolhaas/OMA can be fruitfully viewed in relation engaged in an ongoing historical and ideological to Manfredo Tafuri’s article “Toward a Critique of project since the seventies. His introduction to the Architectural Ideology” (1969). This piece, revised discourse on architecture’s taste for power occurred and expanded in Architecture and Utopia, Design during his studies at Cornell University, when he and Capitalist Development speaks to the possibility “became friends” with Michel Foucault.1 A concern of an operative criticism that engages the ideology of with the ideological function of architecture rests at capitalism. Tafuri’s stated concerns with techniques the foundation of projects spanning from Exodus, of programming, analysis of defined economic or the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture (1972) sectors, and ideologies of consumption are shared and Study for the Renovation of a Panopticon Prison by Koolhaas’s work.
