Koolhaas provokes multiple interpretations. I will posit mine briefly – Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture outlines a long rectilinear enclave of distinct programmatic departments, devoted largely to self-indulgence, entertainment, and voyeurism. It is a building paradigmatic of a city. It is a conceptual proposal meant to make a statement about the state of architecture, urban culture, and what it could be. It was never intended to be built. is it an idea, but as it is architecture, it is an idea communicated by aesthetic, program, and organization. I admit, plagiarism is an exaggeration, but nonetheless this project is perhaps as similar as an entry for a competition for a real building could be to Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. It similar in its rectilinear form and roofless walled interior. It is similar its organization of linearly segmented programs. It is similar in its perverse aesthetic of hegemony, most clearly depicted by the tower. It is similar in its voyeurism and over-stimulation. It too is paradigmatic of the city. It is similar in that it does not aspire to the realistic – visiondivision probably had little doubt in their minds that the project would not be built and such obvious foreknowledge greatly changes the motivation and nature of the project… maybe the similarities are clear now.

and I do not deny superstudio’s influence on Koolhaas’s work (nor does he).
