Rem Koolhaas Quotes
Architecture Is A Fuzzy Amalgamation Of Ancient Knowledge And Contemporary Practice, An Awkward Way To Look At The World And An Inadequate Medium To Operate On It. Any Architectural Project Takes Five Years; No Single Enterprise - Ambition, Intention, Need - Remains Unchanged In The Contemporary Maelstrom. Architecture Is Too Slow. Yes, The Word "architecture" Is Still Pronounced With Certain Reverence (outside The Profession). It Embodies The Lingering Hope - Or The Vague Memory Of A Hope - That Shape, Form, Coherence Could Be Imposed On The Violent Surf Of Information That Washes Over Us Daily. Maybe, Architecture Doesn't Have To Be Stupid After All. Liberated From The Obligation To Construct, It Can Become A Way Of Thinking About Anything - A Discipline That Represents Relationships, Proportions, Connections, Effects, The Diagram Of Everything.
