Rem Koolhaas
"The thing is that I have a really intense, almost compulsive need to record. But it doesn't end there, because what I record is somehow transformed into a creative thing. There is a continuity. Recording is the beginning of a conceptual production. I am somehow collapsing the two - recording and producing - into a single event."

Beginning

Rem Koolhaas
"We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living."

Beauty

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"We felt it was very important for an entity like CCTV to make its presence felt... To generate a space and to define a space, that is the main thing."

Space

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"We live in an almost perfect stillness and work with incredible urgency."

Work

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"Each building has to be beautiful, but cheap and fast, but it lasts forever. That is already an incredible battery of seemingly contradictory demands. So yes, I'm definitely perhaps contradictory person, but I operate in very contradictory times."

Building

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"When air conditioning, escalators, and advertising appeared, shopping expanded its scale, but also limited its spontaneity. And it became much more predictable, almost scientific. What had once been the most surprising became the most manipulated."

Advertising

Rem Koolhaas
"The intellectual force of the West is still dominant, but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning, and that less will be based on our models."

Architecture

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"One of our theories is that one can offset this excessive compulsion toward the spectacular with a return to simplicity."

Simplicity

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"The areas of consensus shift unbelievably fast; the bubbles of certainty are constantly exploding."

Certainty

Quote_1.png
Rem Koolhaas
"People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming."
