#Rem_Koolhaas blows the ceiling off the Venice Architecture #Biennale


"#Architecture today is little more than cardboard," says Koolhaas, walking into a room where the plaster walls have been chipped away to reveal layers of Venetian brickwork, in front of which projects the plasterboard veneer of a new gallery wall, its perfect white surface held on slender metal brackets. "Our influence has been reduced to a territory that is just 2cm thick."

Now in his 70th year, Koolhaas is bristling with more impatience than ever. Together with his office, #OMA , he has worked on this show for almost four years - twice the usual time - and it will be on show for six months, double the normal length of the Architecture Biennale. Accompanied by a 15-volume catalogue of more than 2,000 pages, it has been a mammoth undertaking: smashing open the last 100 years of architecture and ripping out its innards for forensic #analysis .

#Rem_Koolhaas : '#Architecture has become a total fiction'


Rem's central exhibition, titled: #Fundamentals , tells the story of the last 100 years of #architecture - and reveals why today's obsessions with #comfort , #security and #sustainability are such a turn for the worse.
