Building Houses
Rem Koolhaas discusses OMA‘s practice in an interview with Dutch Design Fashion Architecture:
"I don’t think you can make critical architecture because, in a sense, architecture always supports someone else’s impulse. On the other hand I think our architecture is thoroughly critical because every subject, every question, every ambition is analysed and is placed on the operating table, as it were…"architect schools online

"The making and the experience of architecture, as of every art, are always critical-historical acts, involving what the architect and the viewer have learned to distinguish and to imagine through their own relationship with life and things."

"In many cases, I compare a building with a friend, who ones certain characteristics. Are these characteristics independent, accomplishing and inspiring, a personality with charisma is standing in front of us."Eike Becker architekten

"Architecture is an identification of place, a creation of individualism that makes it unique to anything else in the world. The place thus creates a memory with time...The meaning of place is the result of an accumulation of memories."Kim in-cheurl+archium

“…existence…is a constant hurrying of the present into the dead past, a constant dying…it is clear that, as our walking is admittedly merely a constantly prevented falling, the life of our body is only a constantly prevented dying, an ever postponed death:finally, in the same way, the activity of our mind is a constantly deferred ennui. Every breath we draw wards off the death that is constantly intruding upon us.”Arthur Schopenhauerinterior decoration

“...Architecture depends upon its time. It is the crystallization of its inner structure, the slow unfolding of its form. That is the reason why technology and architecture are so closely related. Our real hope is that they will grow together, that some day the one will be the expression of the other. Only then will we have an architecture worthy of its name: architecture as a true symbol of our time”Mies van der Rohe (March 27, 1886 – August 17, 1969)interior decoration

"I believe that architecture today needs to reflect on the tasks and possibilities which are inherently its own. Architecture is not a vehicle or a symbol for things that do not belong to its essence. In a society that celebrates the inessential, architecture can put up a resistance, counteract the waste of forms and meanings, and speak its own language. I believe that the language of architecture is not a question of a specific style. Every building is built for a specific use in a specific place and for a specific society. My buildings try to answer the questions that emerge from these simple facts as precisely and critically as they can."Thinking Architecture

"To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, that which is, and that which will be."
