OMA/Rem Koolhaas A Critical Reader from 'Delirious New York' to 'S,M,L,XL'

The activities of Rem Koolhaas and his staff were widely discussed even before the foundation of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975. Today, many contributions on the work of OMA can be found in the international architectural press, including Koolhaas’ own writings.

The book contains about 150 selected texts—interviews, feature articles, essays, lead articles, reviews, letters, introductions, appraisals, and competition reports that have been compiled for the first time. This compilation not only provides a fresh and critical view of the oeuvre of one the most important contemporary architects, but also represents an account of the debate on architectural and urban design in recent decades.

  • The most incisive texts on the work of OMA/Rem Koolhaas, with articles that have never before been translated into English
  • An overview of relevant notions, ideas, and debates in architectural discourse, theory, and criticism
About the Author

Christophe Van Gerrewey, School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering, EPFL; editorial board of OASE and De Witte Raaf

Reviews

The anthology shows that the critiques are sometimes more interesting to read than the texts written by Rem Koolhaas himself. For example, in “The Generic City” section of S,M,L,XL, the architect decries the idea that all cities look like airports. The anthology shows how critics responded to that assertion. Above all, the book shows that criticism between 1975 and 1995 was more tangible than it is today.

Appearing on the cover of a magazine was a real accolade, and that’s why I included some of those covers in the first few pages of the book. I also wanted to remind readers that the opinion of intellectuals does count for something and does contribute positively to the debate in our society, at a time when Twitter sometimes seems to dominate the debate.

One of architecture’s merits is that it prompts people to think about and take a moral stance on how society is developing. In that sense, Rem Koolhaas’s radical approach gave intellectuals constant food for thought, whether they were for him or against him.
