Koolhaas Elements of Architecture

9.4
More Info

Koolhaas Elements of Architecture is a comprehensive guide that explores the micro-narratives of building details, such as windows, facades, balconies, corridors, fireplaces, stairs, escalators, and e...levators. The book seeks to uncover the web of origins, contaminations, similarities, and differences in architectural evolution, including the influence of technological advances, climatic adaptation, political calculation, economic contexts, regulatory requirements, and new digital opportunities. Derived from Rem Koolhaas's extensive exhibition at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, this book is essential for understanding the fundamentals that comprise structure around the globe. It represents an in-depth study of the fragments of the rich and complex architectural collage, providing insight into the history, evolution and contemporary significance of individual elements. The monograph contains essays from Rem Koolhaas, Stephan Trueby, Manfredo di Robilant, and Jeffrey Inaba; interviews with Werner Sobek and Tony Fadell; and an exclusive photo essay by Wolfgang Tillmans. The book is designed by Irma Boom and based on research from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. It features a custom split-spine binding designed to enable readers to access the content at ease. The printer modified their industrial binding machine to allow for an eight-centimeter thick spine. Furthermore, the book contains a new introductory chapter with forewords, table of contents, and an index, located in the middle of the book, where it naturally opens due to its unique spine. Printed on 50g Opakal paper, the book's ideal level of opacity allows for the realization of Boom's palimpsest-like design. Translucent overlays and personal annotations by Koolhaas and Boom are woven in each chapter to create an alternative, faster route through the book. The book is printed at the originally intended 100% size for full readability. With its updated texts, new images, and unparalleled design, Elements of Architecture is a guidebook that is long overdue. In Koolhaas's own words, "never was a book more relevant" than at this moment where architecture as we know it is changing beyond recognition. It is an essential toolkit for anyone interested in architecture or design, offering a window into the fascinating history of how structures have evolved over time.
