Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and his Rotterdam Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) have gained global acclaim and respect with their complex building tasks (for example, the Dutch Dance Theatre in Den Haag or the Rotterdam Art Museum), and with large-scale urban plans as for Melun-Senart, Euralille and Seoul. Less known are Koolhaas' apartment buildings, which this publication makes a theme: with texts, plans and photographs, it presents the Patiovilla in Rotterdam, the Villa Dall'Ava in Paris, the Dutch House in Holten, the Maison a Bordeaux and the Nexus Housing in Fukuoka/Japan. Their common theme is a search for freedom. A play with openings, transparencies and translucent and opaque surfaces makes these living spaces permeable to the variations of the light and weather.
