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."

"Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning."

Architecture

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."

Rem Koolhaas

"The luxury of our position now is that we can almost assemble any team to address any issue."

Luxury

Rem Koolhaas
"When shopping was still connected to the street it was also an intensification and articulation of the street. Now it has become utterly independent - contained, controlled, surveyed."

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."
