DECONSTRUCTIVISM REM KOOLHAAS

The Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas (b.1944) believes architecture should be a dangerous, risk-taking enterprise. His vision of dynamic between an architect and the megalopolis informs his work. Koolhaas’s book Delirious New York (1978), praised the chaotic energy of the city. Congestion and excess, he speculated are the glory of urban life. He wants architecture to capture this exhilarating sense of being out of control, an almost erotic ecstasy.
