"S M L XL" REM KOOLHAAS

Autor:: Rem Koolhaas

S,M,L,XL presents a selection of the remarkable visionary design work produced by the Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.) and its acclaimed founder, Rem Koolhaas, in its first twenty years, along with a variety of insightful, often poetic writings. The inventive collaboration between Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau is a graphic overture that weaves together architectural projects, photos and sketches, diary excerpts, personal travelogues, fairy tales, and fables, as well as critical essays on contemporary architecture and society.

The book's title is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. While Small and Medium address issues ranging from the domestic to the public, Large focuses on what Koolhaas calls "the architecture of Bigness." Extra-Large features projects at the urban scale, along with the important essay "What Ever Happened to Urbanism?" and other studies of the contemporary city. Running throughout the book is a "dictionary" of an adventurous new Koolhaasian language -- definitions, commentaries, and quotes from hundreds of literary, cultural, artistic, and architectural sources.

LIFE STYLE | BRUCE MAU

An insight into the creative process of the world famous designer

1000 colour illustrations, 100 black and white illustrations

Autor:: Bruce Mau

edited by Kyo Maclear with Bart Testa

"more manifesto than monograph, Life Style is the first book to document Bruce Mau’s creative process and studio practice. Conceived and designed by the Bruce Mau Design studio, the book is a singular album of playful and critical statements about today’s visual and cultural trends. This collection of Mau’s essays, observations, anecdotes and project documentation embodies his unique worldview and his belief that form and content are inseparable. The book’s layout echoes his conviction that design is more than an end in and of itself: it is “not separated or segregated from life but instead is integrated with other messy flows. It engages directly with the world.” 

"Life Style" books are published in eight different colors.
