Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Prada is extremely directed in terms of communicating what they like and what they don’t like. That is actually extremely pleasant because it clarifies very easily what you can do and what you need to do.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “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 Quote: “The areas of consensus shift unbelievably fast; the bubbles of certainty are constantly exploding.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “We know that Las Vegas is junk, but at the same time I think that exactly the same process and ultimately also, perhaps the same logic, attaches itself to or underlies our masterpieces. We live in an amazing era when in spite of an absence of masters there is an explosion of masterpieces.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “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.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “I think one of the important evolutions is that we no longer feel compulsively the need to argue, or to justify things on a kind of rational level. We are much more willing to admit that certain things are completely instinctive and others are really intellectual.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “One cannot completely avoid this landmark character with large buildings such as these. But the city itself is also gigantic.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “As an architect, I always have mixed feelings. On the one hand, your fingers are itching. As a human being, you are happy to participate in the indolence.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “There are books that I own that somehow even without reading them they mean something to me. So I think people have a relationship with books in a library whether you’ve come specifically to read them or not.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “The luxury of our position now is that we can almost assemble any team to address any issue.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Journalists seem mostly interested in what brand of shoes I wear.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Let’s put it this way: One can be happy or unhappy in a building. But some buildings make us more depressed than others.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “If you have this reputation you can sit back and endure it, or you can try to do things with it.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “The institutions are working better now, the banks are much more functional. At this time, 1997, there were no mobile phones! It’s a whole different thing now with mobile phones: technology has created a form of regulation, because people can actually talk to each other a lot more.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone elses hands.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Asia is still dominated by skyscrapers. I hope that, in European cities, it will become a declining trend. They were almost never necessary.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “Without a tighter union, Europe will disintegrate.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “When we went in the late 1990s, Nigeria was still in a dictatorship. So we didn’t go with a mission. It started really with a sort of blankness and open-endedness.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “We discovered a person in Lagos who had a fish stall, and within a single square metre she carried two children all the way to Harvard. She supported an unbelievable escape of her children into education. In that sense it was a city completed pixillated, and every pixel contained amazing stories.”
Rem Koolhaas Quote: “In a laughing mirror-image of the seriousness with which the rest of the world is obsessed with Progress, Coney Island attacks the problem of Pleasure, often with the same technological means.”
