We found this amazing video by Dutch Profiles on Rem Koolhaas, principal of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), and recent winner of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. Enjoy it!

LOL. This is kind of… old!
Koolhaas is a genius. The only one in architecture saying something new. Koolhaas got the buildings in paper famous, sometimes more famous than the built ones.
Koolhas creates a aura around his buildintgs thar makes them unreal. When we see them we feel a little lack of anything.
We miss the unreal, the real is untasteable.
I remember John Ford, the real is bad, and the legend is good.
Koolhaas is a really talent, but there is a lack of anything to fill 100%.
Hey, does anyone know what book he was reading? It looked like it had a REX project in it… Thanks
That’s a collabaration work of OMA&REX, acturally Seattle Library as well.
REX is just a thief of OMA- without OMA- REX would be nothing.
REX is good at regurgitating what he learned from Koolhaas in college and while he worked for him.
