From the skyscraper to the ground-scraper. Rem Koolhaas’s Japanese Kasbah
Keywords:
Koolhaas, Rem, Hounsing, Mat-building, FukuokaAbstract
Rem Koolhaas, as a contemporary architect, draws from the proposals which were devel-oped by the architects who reacted to the ideas formulated on the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, like the Team 10 members. Woods, along with Candilis and Josic, worked out a new type of building that he called ground-scrapper, although it is better known by the name given by Alison Smithson: the mat-building. Rem Koolhaas, in the Nexus World building in Fukuoka, propose, as he says in S,M,L, XL, a house building which is a combina-tion of Mies’s court houses and the ones in the ancient Rome, forming continuous tapestries where houses never become objects. Defi nitely, he proposes a mat-building. OMA’s head-master applies what he had learn with “Delirious New York” and he introduces the skyscraper features in his own ground-scrapper, redefi ning the mat-building.

L’architecture imprimer une forme aux activés humaines : l’urbanisme ordonne les rapports entre ces diverses activités. L’urbanisme établit le milieu dans lequel l’architecture naît. […] Il doit déceler, explorer et rendre clairs les rapports entre les activités humaines. Il doit associer ces activités de telle façon que la totalité de la vie dans un complexe urbain devienne plus riche que la somme des parties composantes”. Traducción de la autora.
