Oma/Rem Koolhaas: A Critical Reader from 'Delirious New York' to 's, M, L, XL'

The most incisive texts on Rem Koolhaas / OMA

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.
