Architecture and Freedom? Programmatic Innovation in the Work of Koolhaas/OMA
The work of Rem Koolhaas/OMA has long been identified with the attempt to break with architectural ideologies embodied in spatial programs. Programmatic innovations include the production of fields of social encounter, new functional juxtapositions, and forms of spatial segmentation. These are designed to resist the role of architecture in reproducing social roles and structures—to enable certain freedoms. This paper is a spatial analysis of two recent projects that reveal both achievements and limits to this project. Koolhaas's work succeeds through a certain magic; and some of the freedoms are illusory.
