Source Books in Architecture No.14: Rem Koolhaas / OMA + AMO Spaces
for Prada is the most recent volume in the Source Books in
Architecture series. Among the topics discussed in the book are the
longstanding relationship with Prada and how the early objectives
in that relationship have both maintained and shifted. An
underlying theme to the conversations held with students and
faculty of the Knowlton School community is the topic of architect
client relationships, their history, their problems, and how they
have contributed to the discipline over time. Explicitly, a focus
of the conversation is on a number of projects that OMA has
developed or completed with Prada, a large number of which are
installation scale environments that manifest in the form of runway
shows and exhibitions. The challenge of such projects is to retain
a commitment to the political and cultural agenda that OMA embeds
in the larger and permanent buildings. Given the ephemerality and
role of these environments as literal backgrounds to highlighted
events, the projects are ideal scenarios in which to develop an
architecture that lacks the permanence of buildings while still
carrying potency and contributing to larger cultural discussions
involving, for example, event, place, concept, product, staging,
the crowd, lighting, and materiality. Source Books in Architecture
No.14 contains project documentation from the OMA and Prada
archives, transcripts from Koolhaas' conversations with students at
the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University, and commentary
and critique from architects, critics, and theorists.
