Rem Koolhaas, I love you and loathe you at the exact same time.
[via Life Without Buildings]
"Koolhaas will transform an industrial complex in the Italian city for the Prada Foundation, whose director says the project’s goal is “to create a force field in which all artistic languages might converge and radiate energies that reach beyond the walls containing them into the urban context.”
This seems like a cool idea but how exactly will the structure 'radiate...into the urban context?' The reality of the architecture is that the building looks more like a military complex than an open and public space. I just wish that Koolhaas would take the people living around and outside the building into account as much as he takes into account those who will actually be using it.
