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. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical reapplications and further elaborations. It uncovers recurring key themes-such as wall, void, montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape-that have structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s oeuvre. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office OMA. Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Architecture Prize for the year 2000.
