This book is the first survey of a new field in architecture
theory: script writing. Architecture as Script Writing explores the
intersection of architecture, film, and text using the example of
the working method of scriptwriter, Rem Koolhaas, and the Office
for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). This book argues that Koolhaas
formulates his approach to architecture on the basis of the
“written sketch” or script, and questions its transformations
into built environment in the oeuvre of OMA. Divided into two
parts, the first part is a theoretical outline that explores the
notion of scriptwriting in film. It provides in-depth insights into
the definition and historical evolution of the script—as a
blueprint, Hollywood script, avant-garde script, storyboard, the
relation to auteur theory, and the difference between the script
and scenario. It surveys the first original script for the Exodus,
of the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. The second part offers
a unique perspective on the urban development of West Berlin, in
which Koolhaas created a metropolitan script, or blueprint, that
spans the period 1971 to 1989, from his first visit, to Berlin to
the fall of the Berlin Wall. This book will be of interest to
researchers and students of architectural theory, urban history and
film studies.
