==Early life and career==
==PENDIDIKAN==
Remment Koolhaas, usually abbreviated to Rem Koolhaas, was born on 17 November 1944 in [[Rotterdam]], [[Netherlands]] to [[Anton Koolhaas]] (1912–1992) and Selinde Pietertje Roosenburg (born 1920). His father was a [[novel]]ist, [[critic]], and [[screenwriter]]. Two documentary films by [[Bert Haanstra]] for which his father wrote the scenarios were nominated for an [[Academy Award for Documentary Feature]], one won a [[Golden Bear (award)|Golden Bear]] for Short Film. His maternal grandfather, Dirk Roosenburg (1887–1962), was a [[Modern architecture|modernist architect]]. His grandfather had worked for [[Hendrik Petrus Berlage]], before he opened his own practice. Rem Koolhaas has a brother, Thomas, and a sister, Annabel. The family lived consecutively in Rotterdam (until 1946), [[Amsterdam]] (1946–1952), [[Jakarta]] (1952–1955), and Amsterdam (from 1955).<ref>{{nl icon}} {{Cite web
Hafiz Noor Nazmi mengawali pendidikannya dari TK Raudathul Atfhal, SDN Sulingan 1 (1994-2003), SMPN 2 Tanjung (2003-2006), SMAN 2 Tanjung (2006-2009), hingga menjadi salah satu mahasiswa Universitas Lambung Mangkurat Program Studi Arsitektur. Pada masa pendidikannya beliau mengalami pasang surut, puncaknya pada ujian nasional Sekolah Menengah Pertama beliau sempat merasakan "ketidaklulusan". Akibat dari hal ini, beliau sempat depresi berat selama kurang lebih 1 minggu, hingga akhirnya mulai bergairah kembali menjalani hidup ketika beliau berhasil lulus melalui ujian penyetaraan "Paket B". Masa sulit itu berlanjut sampai ketika beliau memasuki masa SMA yang ketika itu juga masuk sebagai siswa "bersyarat". Semasa SMA tidak banyak hal yang dilakukan oleh beliau, namun ketika masa itulah beliau pertama kali diperkenalkan pada "Dunia Arsitektur". Dunia arsitektur pertama kali diperkenalkan kepada beliau oleh Pa' Awan, yang ketika itu juga menjadi guru mata pelajaran Kerajinan Tangan dan Kesenian di sekolah beliau pada saat itu. Dari Pa' Awan, beliau mempelajari sketsa tangan, proyeksi, sistem pewarnaan, persfektif, maket, hingga kaligrafi bersama siswa-siswa lain. Ketika itu dunia arsitektur benar-benar menarik 90% minat beliau dengan milih jurusan Arsitektur pada pilihan pertama saat beliau mengikuti ujian SMUT (Seleksi Masuk Universitas Terpadu) yang ketika itu dilaksanakan di Kota Kandangan, 130 KM dari Kota Tanjung. Beliau sempat ragu apakah beliau lulus dan sanggup menempuh pendidikan sarjana. Keraguan itu memuncak saat ibu beliau melarang beliau untuk kuliah di UNLAM dan menginginkan beliau untuk masuk UT (Universitas Terbuka) di Kota Tanjung yang masa pendidikannya relatif lebih singkat lalu kemudian menginginkan beliau untuk masuk dan bekerja sebagai pekerja tambang di daerah sana. Beliau menolak keinginan itu, dengan alasan beliau tidak menyukai pekerja tambang dan lebih menginginkan terjun kedalam dunia arsitektur, tentu dengan syarat beliau lulus dalam ujian SMUT ketika itu. Keberuntungan atau tidak, beliau akhirnya lulus dan akhirnya terdaftar sebagai mahasiswa perguruan tinggi dari Universitas lambung Mangkurat.

His father strongly supported the Indonesian cause for autonomy from the colonial Dutch in his writing. When the war of independence was won, he was invited over to run a cultural programme for three years and the family moved to Jakarta in 1952. "It was a very important age for me," Koolhaas recalls, "and I really lived as an Asian."<ref>{{Cite news
==PERJALANAN KARIR==

He then was a journalist for the ''Haagse Post'' before starting studies, in 1968, in architecture at the [[Architectural Association School of Architecture]] in [[London]], followed, in 1972, by further studies at [[Cornell University]] in [[New York]].
 
Koolhaas first came to public and critical attention with [[Office for Metropolitan Architecture|OMA]] (The Office for Metropolitan Architecture), the office he founded in 1975 together with architects [[Elia Zenghelis]], Zoe Zenghelis and (Koolhaas's wife) [[Madelon Vriesendorp]] in London. They were later joined by one of Koolhaas's students, [[Zaha Hadid]] - who would soon go on to achieve success in her own right. An early work which would mark their difference from the then dominant [[postmodern]] classicism of the late 1970s, was their contribution to the [[Venice Biennale]] of 1980, curated by Italian architect [[Paolo Portoghesi]], titled "Presence of the Past". Each architect had to design a stage-like "frontage" to a [[Potemkin village|Potemkin]]-type internal street; and the OMA scheme was the only [[modernist]] scheme among them.

Other early critically received (yet unbuilt) projects included the [[Parc de la Villette]], Paris (1982) and the residence for the President of [[Ireland]] (1981). The first large project by OMA to be built was the [[Kunsthal]] in Rotterdam (1992). These schemes would attempt to put into practice many of the findings Koolhaas made in his book ''Delirious New York'' (1978),<ref>Rem Koolhaas, ''Delirious New York: A retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan'' (Academy Editions, London, 1978; republished, The Monacelli Press, 1994)</ref> which was written while he was a visiting scholar at the [[Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies]] in New York, directed by [[Peter Eisenman]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}}

In October 2008 Rem Koolhaas was invited for a European "group of the wise" under the chairmanship of former Spanish prime minister [[Felipe González]] to help 'design' the future [[European Union]]. Other members include [[Nokia]] chairman [[Jorma Ollila]], former European Commissioner [[Mario Monti]] and former president of Poland [[Lech Wałęsa]].<ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,587436,00.html Article in German newspaper Der Spiegel 30 October 2008]</ref><ref>[http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2008/1016/1224069691230.html Article in Irish newspaper Irish Times 16 October 2008]</ref>
 
==Theoretical position==
===Delirious New York===
''Delirious New York'' set the pace for Koolhaas's career. Koolhaas celebrates the "chance-like" nature of city life: "The City is an addictive machine from which there is no escape" "Rem Koolhaas...defined the city as a collection of “red hot spots.” <ref>Klingmann, A: ''Brandscapes: Architecture in the Experience Economy. Mit Press, 2007</ref>([[Anna Klingmann]]). As Koolhaas himself has acknowledged, this approach had already been evident in the Japanese [[Metabolist Movement]] in the 1960s and early 1970s.
[[Image:SCL.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Seattle Central Library]] Seattle, USA, designed by OMA]]
A key aspect of architecture that Koolhaas interrogates is the "[[brief (architecture)|Program]]": with the rise of modernism in the 20th century the "Program" became the key theme of architectural design. The notion of the Program involves "an act to edit function and human activities" as the pretext of architectural design: epitomised in the maxim [[Form follows function]], first popularised by architect [[Louis Henri Sullivan|Louis Sullivan]] at the beginning of the 20th century. The notion was first questioned in ''Delirious New York'', in his analysis of high-rise architecture in Manhattan. An early design method derived from such thinking was "cross-programming", introducing unexpected functions in room programmes, such as running tracks in skyscrapers. More recently, Koolhaas (unsuccessfully) proposed the inclusion of hospital units for the homeless into the Seattle Public Library project (2003).
 
===S,M,L,XL===
The next landmark publication by Koolhaas was ''[[S,M,L,XL]]'', together with [[Bruce Mau]], [[Jennifer Sigler]], and [[Hans Werlemann]] (1995),<ref>Rem Koolhaas, Hans Werlemann and Bruce Mau, ''S,M,L,XL'', The Monacelli Press, New York, 1994 (2nd edition 1997)</ref> a 1376-page tome combining essays, manifestos, diaries, fiction, travelogues, and meditations on the contemporary city. The layout of the huge book transformed architectural publishing, and such books&mdash;full-colour graphics and dense texts&mdash;have since become common. Ostensibly, ''S,M,L,XL'' gives a record of the actual implementation of "Manhattanism" throughout the various (mostly un-) realized projects and texts OMA had generated up to that time. The part lexicon-type layout (with a marginal "dictionary" composed by [[Jennifer Sigler]], who also edited the book) spawned a number of concepts that have become common in later architectural theory, in particular "Bigness": 'old' architectural principles (composition, scale, proportion, detail) no longer apply when a building acquires Bigness. This was demonstrated in OMA's scheme for the development of "Euralille" (1990–94), a new centre for the city of [[Lille]] in France, a city returned to prominence by its position on the new rail route from Paris to London via the [[Channel Tunnel]]. OMA sited a train station, two centres for commerce and trade, an urban park, and 'Congrexpo' (a contemporary Grand Palais with a large concert hall, three auditoria and an exhibition space). In another essay in the book, titled "The Generic City", Koolhaas declares that progress, identity, architecture, the city and the street are things of the past: “Relief … it’s over. That is the story of the city. The city is no longer. We can leave the theatre now...”
 
===Project on the city===
[[Image:Be Dutch Embassy 01.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Netherlands Embassy in Berlin, Germany, opened in 2004. Koolhaas's design won the [[Architekturpreis Berlin]] in 2003 and the [[Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture]] in 2005.]]
Koolhaas's next landmark publications were a product of his position as professor at [[Harvard University]], in the design school's "Project on the City"; firstly the 720-page ''Mutations'',<ref>Rem Koolhaas, Stefano Boeri, Sanford Kwinter, Daniela Fabricius, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Nadia Tazi, ''Mutations'', Arc en rêve centre d’architecture, Bordeaux, 2001. ISBN 8495273519.</ref> followed by ''The Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping'' (2002)<ref>Rem Koolhaas, Chuihua Judy Chung, Jeffrey Inaba, and Sze Tsung Leong, ''The Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping. Harvard Design School Project on the City 2'', Taschen, New York, 2002</ref> and ''The Great Leap Forward'' (2002).<ref>Rem Koolhaas, Bernard Chang, Mihai Craciun, Nancy Lin, Yuyang Liu, Katherine Orff, and Stephanie Smith, ''The Great Leap Forward. Harvard Design School Project on the City'', Taschen, New York, 2002</ref> All three books involved Koolhaas's students analysing what others would regard as "non-cities", sprawling conglomerates such as [[Lagos]] in [[Nigeria]], west Africa, which the authors argue are highly functional despite a lack of infrastructure. The authors also examine the influence of shopping habits and the recent rapid growth of cities in [[China]]. Critics of the books have criticised Koolhaas for being cynical - as if Western [[capitalism]] and [[globalization]] demolish all cultural identity - highlighted in the notion expounded in the books that "In the end, there will be little else for us to do but shop". However, such cynicism can alternatively be read as a "realism" about the transformation of cultural life, where airports and even museums (due to finance problems) rely just as much on operating gift shops.
 
When it comes to transforming these observations into practice, Koolhaas mobilizes what he regards as the omnipotent forces of urbanism into unique design forms and connections organised along the lines of present day society. Koolhaas continuously incorporates his observations of the contemporary city within his design activities: calling such a condition the ‘culture of congestion’. Again, shopping is examined for "intellectual comfort", whilst the unregulated taste and densification of Chinese cities is analysed according to "performance", a criterion involving variables with debatable credibility: density, newness, shape, size, money etc. For example, in his design for the new [[China Central Television Headquarters|CCTV headquarters]] in Beijing (2009), Koolhaas did not opt for the stereotypical skyscraper, often used to symbolise and landmark such government enterprises, but instead designed a series of volumes which not only tie together the numerous departments onto the nebulous site, but also introduced routes (again, the concept of cross-programming) for the general public through the site, allowing them some degree of access to the production procedure. Through his ruthlessly raw approach, Koolhaas hopes to extract the architect from the anxiety of a dead profession and resurrect a contemporary interpretation of the sublime, however fleeting it may be.
 
In 2003 ''Content'', a 544-page magazine-style book designed by [[Andandand Creative|&&& Creative]] and published by Koolhaas, gives an overview of the last decade of OMA projects<ref>Rem Koolhaas, ''Content'', Taschen, New York, 2003</ref> including his designs for the [[Prada]] shops, the [[Seattle Public Library]], a plan to save Cambridge from Harvard by rechanneling the Charles River, Lagos' future as Earth's third-biggest town, as well as interviews with [[Martha Stewart]] and [[Robert Venturi]] and [[Denise Scott Brown]].
 
===AMO===
In the late nineties, while working on the design for the new headquarters for Universal (currently Vivendi), OMA was first exposed to the full pace of change that engulfed the world of media and with it the increasing importance of the virtual domain. It led Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) to create a new company, AMO, exclusively dedicated to the investigation and performance in this realm. He is heading the think tank ever since with Reinier de Graaf.
 
===Volume Magazine===
In 2005 Rem Koolhaas co-founded [[Volume Magazine]] together with [[Mark Wigley]] and [[Ole Bouman]]. [[Volume Magazine]] - the collaborative project by Archis (Amsterdam), AMO Rotterdam and C-lab ([[Columbia University]] NY) - is a dynamic experimental think tank devoted to the process of spatial and cultural reflexivity. It goes beyond architecture’s definition of ‘making buildings’ and reaches out for global views on architecture and design, broader attitudes to social structures, and creating environments to live in. The magazine stands for a journalism which detects and anticipates, is proactive and even pre-emptive - a journalism which uncovers potentialities, rather than covering done deals.
 
===European Flag proposal===
[[Image:Europa-no-oficial.png|thumb|250px|European Flag proposal]]
Following the signing of [[Treaty of Nice|Treaties of Nice]] in May 2001, which made [[Brussels]] the [[Brussels and the European Union|de facto capital of the European Union]], the then President of the [[European Commission]], [[Romano Prodi]] and the Belgian Prime Minister [[Guy Verhofstadt]] invited Koolhaas to discuss the necessities and requirements of a European capital.
 
During these talks and as an impetus for further discussion, Koolhaas and his think-tank AMO – an independent part of [[Office for Metropolitan Architecture|OMA]] – suggested the development of a visual language. This idea inspired a series of drawings and drafts, including the "[[Barcode]]". The barcode seeks to unite the flags of the EU member countries into a single, colourful symbol. In the current [[European flag]], there is a fixed number of stars. In the barcode however, new Member States of the EU can be added without space constraints. Originally, the barcode displayed 15 EU countries. In 2004, the symbol was adapted to include the ten new Member States.
 
Since the time of the first drafts of the barcode it has very rarely been officially used by commercial or political institutions. During the [[Presidency of the Council of the European Union|Austrian EU Presidency 2006]] it was officially used for the first time. The logo has already been used for the EU information campaign which will also be continued during the Austrian EU Presidency. There was initially some uproar caused, as the stripes of the flag of [[Estonia]] were displayed incorrectly.
 
===Architecture, fashion, and theatre===
[[Image:PDRM0102.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Prada, Beverly Hills, USA]]
[[Image:Second Stage Theatre seating.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Second Stage Theatre, New York, USA]]
With his Prada projects, Koolhaas ventured into providing architecture for the fleeting world of fashion and with celebrity-studded cachet: not unlike Garnier's Opera, the central space of Koolhaas' [[Beverly Hills Prada]] store is occupied by a massive central staircase, ostensibly displaying select wares, but mainly the shoppers themselves. The notion of selling a [[brand]] rather than marketing clothes was further emphasised in the Prada store in New York, which had previously been owned by the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation|Guggenheim]]: the museum signs were not removed during the outfitting of the new store, as if emphasizing the premises as a cultural institution.<ref>Anette Baldauf, "Branded", in ''Learning from Calvin Klein'', Umbau 21, 2004.</ref>
 
Prior to his Prada project in New York, Koolhaas was behind another remodeling project on the other side of town. Koolhaas redesigned a 1929 bank and transformed it into a one-of-a-kind, 296 seat, performance space for [[Second Stage Theatre]].
 
===21st Century Office===
{{updated}}
{{BLP unsourced section|date=July 2010}}
At the moment Koolhaas' constructions sites are in China{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}: the massive [[CCTV Headquarters|Central China Television Headquarters Building]] in Beijing, China, and the new building for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the equivalent of the NASDAQ in China.
 
Recently{{when|date=January 2011}} he has changed the organization of his office to a partnership. Partners next to him are Ellen van Loon, Reinier de Graaf, Shohei Shigematsu and managing partner [[Victor van der Chijs]]. The partner [[Ole Scheeren]] left OMA in March 2010 to start his own practice.
 
Koolhaas now heads offices in Europe (OMA*AMO Rotterdam), North America (OMA*AMO Architecture PC New York) and Asia (OMA Beijing).
 
OMA Rotterdam: the head office is working on a master plan for the White City area of London; a harbour redevelopment and contemporary art Museum in Riga, the Cordoba Congress Centre in Spain; the redevelopment of the Mercati Generali in Rome, an architectural centre, offices and housing in Copenhagen, the new head office of Rothschild Bank in London and multi-use towers in Rotterdam and The Hague. It is also working on various masterplans in the Netherlands and Belgium and shopping centres in Rotterdam and Ostrava. In addition the Rotterdam office has a number of activities in the Middle East including office and residential towers and master plans in Dubai, three master plans in Ras -Al-Khaimah and several public buildings in Qatar. With his Rotterdam office Koolhaas is also designing a science center for Hamburg’s Hafencity.
 
OMA New York: the office in Manhattan Koolhaas is leading by Shohei Shigematsu is now designing an extension of Cornell University (NY), 111 First Street, a high rise residential building and hotel in Jersey City (NJ) and a high end residential tower with CAA screening room at [[One Madison Park]] in NYC.
 
OMA Beijing: In Asia, Koolhaas is working with his team on the office’s largest project to date, the 575,000 m2 China Central Television Headquarters (CCTV) and [[Television Cultural Center]] (TVCC), currently under construction in Beijing and due for completion in 2008. (However, the TVCC was damaged by an [[Television Cultural Center#Chinese New Year fire|enormous fire]] in 2009.) Other projects in development include the new Shenzhen Stock Exchange and a lush residential tower and residential masterplan in Singapore.
 
==Quotes==
* Noting that architecture can no longer keep up with the world: "The areas of consensus shift unbelievably fast; the bubbles of certainty are constantly exploding. Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture." —interview in ''[http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2715:rem-koolhaas--icon-013--june-2004 Iconeye]'', 2004<ref>[http://www.iconeye.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2715:rem-koolhaas--icon-013--june-2004 Icon 013, Rem Koolhaas, June 2004]</ref>
* Reference to the article 'Generic city', a critic to current mode of urbanization: "People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming. But the generic city, the general urban condition, is happening everywhere, and just the fact that it occurs in such enormous quantities must mean that it's habitable. Architecture can't do anything that the culture doesn't. We all complain that we are confronted by urban environments that are completely similar. We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living." —interview in [[Wired (magazine)|''Wired'']] 4.07, July 1996 <ref>[http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.07/koolhaas.html From Bauhaus to Koolhaas]</ref>
* Asked if there is a certain contribution he aspires to make: "It's very simple and it has nothing to do with identifiable goals. It is to keep thinking about what architecture can be, in whatever form. That is an answer, isn't it? I think that ''S,M,L,XL'' has one beautiful ambiguity: it used the past to build a future and is very adamant about giving notice that this is not the end. That's how it felt to me, anyway. That is in itself evidence of a kind of discomfort with achievement measured in terms of identifiable entities, and an announcement that continuity of thinking in whatever form, around whatever subject, is the real ambition." —Interview with Jennifer Sigler in ''[[Index Magazine]]'', 2000<ref>[http://www.indexmagazine.com/interviews/rem_koolhaas.shtml Rem Koolhaas, 2000]</ref>
