SUMMARY

This is an bibliography of the key texts by and about Rem Koolhaas, prepare for the AE by Christophe Van Gerreway. Rem Koolhaas is one of the leading architects of the 20th and 21st centuries who work with practice OMA and through his writings have reshaped architecture. It challenged the primacy of notions of form, critique, and posited an architecture that worked with mass and volume at an enormous scale to reorganize program. It remained avant-garde while being critical of the avant-garde and positioned itself on a knife edge of various paradoxes relating to power, authorship, tradition, alienation, and politics.
