In Junkspace (2001), architect Rem Koolhaas itemised in delirious
detail how our cities are being overwhelmed. His celebrated
jeremiad is here updated and twinned with Running Room, a fresh
response from architectural critic Hal Foster. 'The manifesto is a
modernist mode, one that looks to the future - Junkspace makes no
such claim: "Architecture disappeared in the twentieth century,"
states Koolhaas matter-of-factly. Junkspace does a harder thing: it
"foretells" the present, which is to say that it calls on us to
recognize what is already everywhere around us.' Hal Foster Is
there a future for architecture? If so, it might begin with the
meditations - by turns elegant and frantic - of Rem Koolhaas and
Hal Foster: 'even if there is no outside to Junkspace, there is
still running room to be made in its cracks - ' 'Junkspace is the
new flamboyant, flexible, forgettable face of architecture,
rendered by Rem Koolhaas in a visceral and rampantly analytical
essay.' Office for Metropolitan Architecture
