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 -
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. -

Bénézit, “Bartholomeus-Johannes van Hove” in Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, volume 5, Libraire Gründ, Paris, 1976, p. 634 In a large panel, under radiant skies, the old fortifications of Haarlem abut the Spaarne River. The Grote Houtpoort rises majestically in the foreground, dominating the scene with its weathervane reaching to the composition’s edge. The Kalistoren Tower, used for the storage of gunpowder, is in the middle with the Kleine Houtpoort visible in the distance. Built in 1570, the Grote Houtpoort was at the end of the Grote Houtstraat, one of the main roads from the Grote Markt that led outside the city walls. Beyond the gate lay the wooded area, called the Haarlemmerwoud. The temperature is mild, over the arched bridge of the Grote Houtpoort, residents contentedly stroll, conversed or stop to admire the view. Below boatmen propel their craft across glass-like waters with shimmering reflections and floating swans. The sense of well-being pervades this orderly view of the city’s great landmarks that dominate its skyline. -

In 2015, the first stage of O.M.A.’s Fondazione Prada in Milan was opened to the public. Led by O.M.A. founder, Rem Koolhaas, the project consists of a campus of re-purposed industrial buildings to house the art collection and associated cultural activities of the Italian fashion giant. Of all the extant buildings, the visual focus is on an ordinary five-storey structure, which has been covered entirely in gold leaf. While O.M.A. have employed gold leaf on a small number of earlier projects, there are also other contemporary parallels, including Mario Botta’s church in Seriate, located just fifty kilometres east of Milan. Completed in 2004, Botta’s church establishes a curious inversion of O.M.A.’s gold building: its interior is lined extensively in gilded timber slats. -

Widener Collection 1942.9.98 ENTRY In 1906 Abraham Bredius, director of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, traveled to Brussels to examine a collection of drawings owned by the family of Jonkheer Jan de Grez. [1] There he discovered, hanging high on a wall, a small picture that he surmised might be by Vermeer of Delft. Bredius asked for permission to take down the painting, which he exclaimed to be “very beautiful.” He then asked if the painting could be exhibited at the Mauritshuis, which occurred during the summer of 1907. Bredius’ discovery was received with great acclaim. In 1911, after the death of Jonkheer Jan de Grez, the family sold the painting, and it soon entered the distinguished collection of August Janssen in Amsterdam. After this collector’s death in 1918, the painting was acquired by the Amsterdam art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, and then by M. Knoedler & Co., New York, which subsequently sold it to Joseph E. Widener. On March 1, 1923, the Paris art dealer René Gimpel recorded the transaction in his diary, commenting: “It’s truly one of the master’s most beautiful works.” [2] Despite the enthusiastic reception that this painting received after its discovery in the first decade of the twentieth century, the attribution of this work has frequently Girl with a Flute 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century been brought into question by later scholars. -
