Kool

I am a fan of Mr. Koolhaas because his vision is not just aesthetic or selfish. His desire to change paradigms and systems (from building to political and social) puts him in a class by himself. Could this article say the same about Zaha or Gehry? I seriously think not. The key term here is at the beginning of said article. Invisible Cities, the latent and virtual possibilites inherent in any given problem of discovery. Through intense research, analysis, and speculation he and his people are able to realize hidden potential.

AMO and OMA seek hybrids of design, planning, architecture, politics, socialism, and economic development. Impressive.
