	Wired 8.06: Exploring the Unmaterial World
		Rem Koolhaas is as tall and gaunt as a saint in an altarpiece, and he has a taste for edifying pain.
		Because Koolhaas graduated from London's prestigious AA (the Associated Architects School of Architecture) in 1972, when it was known as a hotbed of radicalism, he is sometimes mistaken for a man of the counterculture, and therefore, to the extent that he serves global capital, as a renegade.
		Among architects, Koolhaas is best known for his concept of the "megastructure," an extra-large building or plan meant to stimulate settlement and activity in a manner analogous to the Manhattan grid.

	Rem Koolhaas Bio
		Rem Koolhaas was born in Rotterdam in 1944.
		Koolhaas conceived the house as a glass pavilion containing living and dining areas with two hovering, perpendicular apartments, shifted in opposite directions to exploit the view.
		When the commission was announced, the chairman of the jury said, “Koolhaas recognizes that a primary imperative facing the IIT campus is to create an urban intensity with a relatively low density of population.

	Rem Koolhaas \| TIME Europe Magazine \| 60 Years of Heroes
		For instance, it was Koolhaas, in his 1978 book Delirious New York, who deciphered what he called Manhattan's "culture of congestion." At a time when cities were in bad odor, especially that one, he saw in New York City a fertile disorder.
		Though Koolhaas is possessed of an ego every bit as formidable as theirs, his outlook is entirely different.
		In the enduring contest between the architect and his times, Koolhaas has arrived at a unique position—the man who simultaneously resigns himself to the chaos around him and sees in it an opportunity for an altogether new kind of order.

		It was a brilliant move, instantly establishing Koolhaas as an intimidating presence on the architectural landscape when there was nothing to show for what his vision of the architecture of the contemporary world might be like.
		Koolhaas certainly has an ego, but he is not interested in the architectural cult of personality.
		Koolhaas is trying to prove that the well-intentioned architects who tried to tame the contemporary city with pedestrian precincts and conservation got it all disastrously wrong.

	The architects, Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Ramus
		Koolhaas received architecture's version of the Nobel and its $100,000 prize in a gala event in Israel and was lauded for "his bold, strident, thought-provoking architecture" in stories around the globe.
		Koolhaas buildings were a long time in coming, a few signal structures in Europe that swayed the Seattle Public Library's board of trustees, including the Kunsthal museum in Rotterdam, the Educatorium student center in Utrecht, a family residence for a severely disabled man in Bordeaux, France (which Time magazine called "the best design of 1998").
		Koolhaas divides his time between the London home of his wife, mother of their two grown children, and the Amsterdam home of Petra Blaisse, his partner of almost two decades and a longtime designer for OMA, who was responsible for the hyper-color carpets and the landscaping for the Seattle Central Library.

	Rem Koolhaas at AllExperts
		Koolhaas' work emphatically embraces the contradictions of a discipline that struggles to maintain its humanist ideals of material honesty, the human scale and carefully crafted meaning in a rapidly globalising world that espouses material economy, machine scale and random meaning.
		The 'barcode', a Koolhaas proposal for the flag of the European Union became the logo of the 2006 Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
		With his Prada projects, Koolhaas has ventured into the realms of infusing architecture with the fleeting world of fashion and with celebrity-studded cachet: not unlike Garnier's Opera, the central space of Koolhaas' Beverly Hills Prada store is occupied by a massive central staircase, ostensibly displaying select wares, but mainly the shoppers themselves.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Rem Koolhaas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Koolhaas has always had different ways of engaging the modern than his colleagues -— most of whom (he feels) attempt to recover and renovate the historical rather then engage the new.
		In the mid-1980s, Koolhaas began, with the Parc de la Villette, to design buildings with transparent frameworks made up of pieces that appear to be suspended on nothing but air.
		Koolhaas takes things even further away from the realm of the concrete in his designs for buildings that double as movie theaters.

	Post-delirium - Rem Koolhaas, traveling exhibition - Architecture Art in America - Find Articles
		Officially, the 50-year-old Rem Koolhaas is head of a 20-person architectural firm, the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), headquartered in Rotterdam, with branches in London and Athens.
		The traveling exhibition "OMA at MOMA: Rem Koolhaas and the Place of Public Architecture" was organized by Terence Riley as part of the Museum of Modern Art's "Thresholds" series on contemporary architecture and design.
		Koolhaas is, by his own account, a celebrant of freestyle urbanism--of new technologies and largely unregulated development, of freaky juxtapositions and serendipitous interactions (both architectural and social), of building-use "programs" that maximize density and activity, congestion and instability--and an opponent of "architecture," by which he means any structure which limits possibilities.

		Koolhaas was an hour and a half late to the meeting, having been detained at a conference on modern architecture at the Guggenheim Museum, where he was a star speaker.
		When OMA fell apart financially, Koolhaas embarked on a course of personal redefinition, seeking, he says, "a replenishment of themes and issues." A crucial step was accepting a teaching position at Harvard in 1995, on condition that he would not have to teach design.
		When Koolhaas speaks, in the way that he speaks, about the need "to negotiate in terms of your own preoccupations through a field that is defined by the demands of others," you might wonder what, if anything, he means.
