本书介绍了该项目的规划、进展和遗产,并借鉴了Holger Schurk对不同参与者的采访。该出版物阐明了作为OMA为巴黎Tres Grande Bibliotheque设计发展的一部分的生产和表现的混合过程。这些都被记录在许多以前未发表的草图、图纸和照片,以及一系列的视频剧照中。
On a daring late-’80s experiment in form by Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture
In 1989, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture developed a new architectural typology helmed by the Dutch architecture firm’s founder Rem Koolhaas (born 1944). The goal of this endeavor was to enact a “project without form” as part of an international competition to build a new national library in France. In the OMA laboratory in Rotterdam, experts from multiple different disciplines were able to work on this challenge at the same time. Within this experimental, multidisciplinary approach to design, the mechanisms of project development and knowledge acquisition merge into increasingly abstract systems of representation. The focus of the final design was the idea of the void, an absence of form: the solid square building would have gaps carved out of its exterior to represent the occasional rifts in memory inherent in human experience.
This volume presents the planning, progress and legacy of the project, drawing from interviews with various participants conducted by Holger Schurk. The publication illuminates the hybrid processes of production and representation as part of the development of OMA’s design for the Tres Grande Bibliotheque in Paris. These are documented in numerous previously unpublished sketches, drawings and photographs, as well as sequences of video stills.
