i dont agree with what you say, rem koolhaas is one of the contemporary architects that actually try to make cities more human, trying to find that human scale in its buildings... trying to bring architecture in a more human context, he uses the modern concepts into his designs.

You can see this by simply looking at the OMA buildings made all over, they arent as crazy as gehry or hadid...

i think your hostility may be pointed at hadid really....

he is the Le Corbusier of the new century. His ideas are actually related with the world you live in, and the world you'll live in. Le Corbusier also was a media architect so what? You're judging Remment without fully knowing what he is doing and what he proposes with every project. Plus... He shows how important architecture is in the life of everyone.... if he is too conceptual for you, well thats your problem.

Go and read about him, and try to understand him, before saying he is garbage.

sorry bro..

question: ¡ is it tue that he is as self centered as daniel bonilla==?? and that workig wiht him can ruin your mental health? i love his aproach to interior design, but exteriors in his work are not my cup of tea,.?

have you checked the campuzano brothers?? they are too young, but very good.

one more thing.. nice bass playing, you rock!

he is not. he is good, but both le corbu and koolhaas , have different aproaches and ideas.

koolhaas has the admiration of every single architecture student in the world. while le corbusier, had not during his lifetime. thats changes perspectives.

i ahve heard similar comments,, but to make the long story short, i am deeply disturbed about how people treat an architect based only on books published or quantity of fans.

[odinmp5]

i compare them based on the things non architects apreciate.

is the building useful? does it have an impact on the life of people?? not just because it is big or famous.

since when was the visual affect was the foremost importance of architecture? If you value aesthetics so much then you should just stick with sculpture. Architecture, unlike sculpture, carries functions. Rem Koolhaas might be taking jobs away from good architects, but definitely not yours since you shouldn't even fit yourself as an "architect" since you don't even know what architecture even is.

OK. Trying... and failing in an epic fashion.

[splicanin986]

all of these architect u mention are well known and far behind koolhaas, both regarding quality and quantity of projects, writings, influences etc......

i do agree koolhaas is extremely exposed in the media...but to say these are better then him is sth i really disagree with...
