Résumé:
Rem Koolhaas' spaces for living, including his apartments and houses, are collected for the first time in book format. This new book highlights this important aspect of his work: with texts, plans and photographs, it presents the Patiovilla in Rotterdam, the Villa Dall'Ava in Paris, the Dutch House in Holten, the Maison à Bordeaux, and the Nexus Housing in Fukuoka/Japan. Their common theme is an intense search for freedom. As with all of Koolhaas' work, a clever play with openings, transparencies and transparent and opaque surfaces makes these living spaces permeable to the variations of light, weather, and function.

Résumé:
Because filming has long been restricted in Nigeria, few images of Lagos exist. Based on research by The Harvard Project on the City under the direction of Rem Koolhaas, this DVD represents a unique engagement with a hardly documented city, capturing multiple perspectives of a volatile moment in its evolution. In 2002, Bregtje van der Haak, in cooperation with architect Rem Koolhaas and The Harvard Project on the City made "Lagos/Koolhaas", a documentary on self-organization and urbanization in Nigeria. As a sequel to the documentary, Bregtje van der Haak together with designer Silke Wawro, developed the DVD "Lagos wide & close, an interactive journey into an exploding city". The DVD contains an interactive video documentary (60'), edited from 55 hours of unused material that brings the viewer closer to the explosively growing megalopolis Lagos. With bus driver Olawole Busayo, the viewer moves through the city and has a choice of a distant ('wide') or an involved ('close') perspective, at any random moment in the documentary.

Résumé:
L'activité de réhabilitation est aujourd'hui indissociable des principes de la construction durable: innover, isoler, réparer, réutiliser, réinventer, se conjugent désormais avec empreinte carbone et performances thermiques. L'acier joue un rôle essentiel dans cette dynamique: résistant, léger et économique, il est devenu le matériau de choix pour tous les types d'intervention en lien avec la réhabilitation. C'est afin d'aider le praticien confronté à cette problématique que cette référence sans équivalent a été rédigée. Toutes les informations indispensables à l'usage de l'acier dans la réhabilitation de bâtiments, quels que soient leurs matériaux constitutifs, y sont présentées: soutainements temporaires et permanents, techniques de renforcement et de réparation de poutres, poteaux et planchers, consolidation de structures, techniques d'extension et de surélévation, renforcement de constructions fragilisées, réhabilitation des façades et des toitures.

Résumé:
The rural, remote, and wild territories we call "countryside", or the 98% of the earth's surface not occupied by cities, make up the front line where today's most powerful forces-climate and ecological devastation, migration, tech, demographic lurches-are playing out. Increasingly under a 'Cartesian' regime-gridded, mechanized, and optimized for maximal production-these sites are changing beyond recognition. In his latest publication, Rem Koolhaas explores the rapid and often hidden transformations underway across the Earth's vast non-urban areas. This book gathers travelogue essays exploring territories marked by global forces and experimentation at the edge of our consciousness: a test site near Fukushima, where the robots that will maintain Japan's infrastructure and agriculture are tested; a greenhouse city in the Netherlands that may be the origin for the cosmology of today's countryside; the rapidly thawing permafrost of Central Siberia, a region wrestling with the possibility of relocation; refugees populating dying villages in the German countryside and intersecting with climate change activists; habituated mountain gorillas confronting humans on 'their' territory in Uganda; the American Midwest, where industrial-scale farming operations are coming to grips with regenerative agriculture; and Chinese villages transformed into all-in-one factory, e-commerce stores, and fulfillment centers.

Résumé:
En trois essais décisifs, Rem Koolhaas nous oblige à tourner la tête vers ce que nos villes sont devenues. Qu’est-ce qu’un paysage urbain ? Comment le décrire ? Comment s’y repérer ? Et que peut être aujourd’hui le travail de l’urbaniste ? Ces questions, Koolhaas ne les adresse pas aux spécialistes mais aux femmes et aux hommes qui vivent dans les villes, qui marchent dans les villes, qui veulent respirer dans les villes.

Résumé:
Preservation is Overtaking Us brings together two lectures given by Rem Koolhaas at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, along with a response (framed as a supplement to the original lectures) by Jorge Otero-Pailos. In the first essay Koohaas describes alternative strategies for preserving Beijing, China. The second talk marks the inaugural Paul Spencer Byard lecture, named in celebration of the longtime professor of Historic Preservation at GSAPP. These two lectures trace key moments of Koolhaas’ thinking on preservation, including his practice’s entry into China and the commission to redevelop the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a format well known to Koolhaas’ readers, Otero-Pailos reworks the lectures into a retroactive manifesto, using it to interrogate OMA’s work from within the discipline of preservation. This is the first book in the new GSAPP Transcripts series.

Résumé:
Looking at a considerable range of works spanning the entire career of Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) from seven of his famous ''Wall Drawings'' to sculptures such as ''Complex Form'' and ''Inverted Spiraling Tower'', and including the photo-series ''Autobiography'', this book explores the deeply intertwined relationship between LeWitt's work and architecture. Featuring a collaboration by the architect Rem Koolhaas- as a curator, for the first time ever- in dialogue with the curator Francesco Stocchi, ''Between the Lines'' addresses broad aspects of LeWitt's oeuvre, with the aim of moving beyond the divisions that traditionally separate architecture from art history (the flouting of which characterizes the artist's entire body of work). In particular, this book reformulates the still-popular assumption that an artwork must adapt to the architecture.
