The pursuit of boundlessness : the elusive Rem Koolhaas

What drives Rem Koolhaas? What characterizes his work? In the publication published on the occasion of the Johannes Vermeer Prize 2013, architecture journalist Jaap Huisman tries to find answers to those questions. Rotterdam presents a greater challenge to Rem Koolhaas than Amsterdam, 'because anything is still possible', and Asia is a more popular field of work than Europe for the same reason. Especially complex tasks in cities that hardly existed for ten or fifteen years seem to inspire him.
