A unique book about one of the most famous buildings in
Switzerland. The Rolex Learning Center at EPFL Lausanne opened in
2010. Designed by Pritzker Prize laureates SANAA (Kazuyo Sejima and
Ryue Nishizawa) from Japan, it soon became one of the more
well-known buildings of recent times. In this book, akin to an
architectural novella, Christophe Van Gerrewey tells the variegated
story of this piece of architecture-from many points of view, with
some unexpected twists, and accompanied by unusual images. Through
Higher Knowledge, the Rolex Learning Center emerges not only as a
remarkable architectural achievement, but also as a building that
contains knowledge, and that can speak to us in different ways.
The most incisive texts on Rem Koolhaas / OMA The activities of Rem
Koolhaas and his staff were widely discussed even before the
foundation of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975.
Today, many contributions on the work of OMA can be found in the
international architectural press, including Koolhaas' own
writings. The book contains about 150 selected texts-interviews,
feature articles, essays, lead articles, reviews, letters,
introductions, appraisals, and competition reports that have been
compiled for the first time. This compilation not only provides a
fresh and critical view of the oeuvre of one the most important
contemporary architects, but also represents an account of the
debate on architectural and urban design in recent decades. The
most incisive texts on the work of OMA/Rem Koolhaas, with many
articles that have never before been translated into English An
overview of notions, ideas, and debates in architectural discourse,
theory, and criticism, from the 1970s until 2000, that remain
relevant today Illustrated with more than 100 cover shoots
