This book presents a recent lecture and seminar given by architect Rem Koolhaas at the Rice University School of Architecture. In this compact volume, Koolhaas addresses the urban and architectural implications of extra-large construction, using as examples three of OMA's important large-scale projects: the Zeebrugge Ferry Terminal in Belgium, the Tres Grande Bibliotheque in Paris, and the Karlsruhe Center for Art and Media Technology in Germany. Tackling questions about the difficult state of urbanism and modernism in contemporary Europe, America, and Asia, this slim volume forms a concise and coherent explanation of the theories and polemics of Koolhaas and OMA. This beautifully designed book serves as an inexpensive alternative and companion to Koolhaas's S,M,L,XL.
Architecture is a dangerous profession for several reasons. It is especially dangerous if you have a name like Office for Metropolitan Architecture-a very pretentious name, compared to which almost any realization may newfound wanting.
Architecture is a dangerous profession also because it is incredibly difficult and debilitating.
Finally, architecture is a dangerous profession because it is a poisonous mixture of impotence and omnipotence, in the sense that the architect almost invariably harbors megalomaniacal dreams that depend upon others, and upon circumstances, to impose and to realize those fantasies and dreams.

Serious architecture must desire to be dangerous. 如果Kwinter和Lars能分别heavily overlap Rem和Jesse, 那OMA和RUR间也可以连条粗线…

跟最后Kwinter的文章比起来 老库的话简直太好懂了 发现很多建筑师都喜欢谈论自己那些未完成的项目 可能比起建成项目 这些差一点点就能建出来的房子因为少了那么一点点妥协 更纯粹 更野生 更能代表他们自己

库哈斯的建筑与城市世界观。之前读过一点他另一本对话录，也是一样喜欢行话和术语漫天飞。我的信心好像在阅读过程中被逐步消解，像是耳边有人在不停吹风: 建筑师没那么重要啦，目前为止建筑师做的不好，建筑师有很多弱点…… 总而言之，觉得是好像点到为止又好像欲言又止，提出不少问题但是又说，这些是建筑师无法改变的。到最后Kwinter的文章，完全是玄学。过两年再重新读一遍。polito-BCA 72.036 k... 库哈斯的建筑与城市世界观。之前读过一点他另一本对话录，也是一样喜欢行话和术语漫天飞。我的信心好像在阅读过程中被逐步消解，像是耳边有人在不停吹风: 建筑师没那么重要啦，目前为止建筑师做的不好，建筑师有很多弱点…… 总而言之，觉得是好像点到为止又好像欲言又止，提出不少问题但是又说，这些是建筑师无法改变的。到最后Kwinter的文章，完全是玄学。过两年再重新读一遍。polito-BCA 72.036 kwi (展开)
