Inhaltsangabe
S,M,L,XL presents a selection of the remarkable visionary design work produced by the Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.) and its acclaimed founder, Rem Koolhaas, in its first twenty years, along with a variety of insightful, often poetic writings. The inventive collaboration between Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau is a graphic overture that weaves together architectural projects, photos and sketches, diary excerpts, personal travelogues, fairy tales, and fables, as well as critical essays on contemporary architecture and society. The book's title is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. While Small and Medium address issues ranging from the domestic to the public, Large focuses on what Koolhaas calls "the architecture of Bigness." Extra-Large features projects at the urban scale, along with the important essay "What Ever Happened to Urbanism?" and other studies of the contemporary city. Running throughout the book is a "dictionary" of an adventurous new Koolhaasian language -- definitions, commentaries, and quotes from hundreds of literary, cultural, artistic, and architectural sources.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Like New. More than a monograph, S, M, L, XL is a genre-defying chronicle of architectural thinking at the close of the 20th century. Conceived by Rem Koolhaas and designed in collaboration with Bruce Mau, the book serves as both a visual diary and intellectual record of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) from its inception through its first two decades. Projects are organized by scale: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large- each category presenting built works, speculative proposals, and critical essays that reflect the shifting ambitions of the firm and its evolving relationship to global urban conditions. Koolhaas's writing, ranging from manifestos to travel notes and meditations on urbanism, provides deep insight into his vision of architecture not as isolated object but as a vehicle for engaging with economic systems, media, and cultural transformation. Bruce Mau's layout, with its radical use of typography, layering, and image sequencing, transformed architectural publishing, positioning the book as a milestone in graphic design as well as architectural discourse. In 2025, S, M, L, XL continues to be studied for its experimental format and its synthesis of narrative, theory, and practice. It remains essential for understanding how architecture can function as a cultural document- responsive to political, technological, and environmental forces- and for how collaborative authorship between architect and designer can redefine the limits of the architectural book itself.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Silver leatherette-covered boards with title stamped in black and yellow on cover and spine; no dust jacket as issued. Collaboration between Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau. Edited by Jennifer Sigler. Photographs by Hans Werlemann. Designed by Bruce Mau Design, Inc., Bruce Mau with Kevin Sugden, and Nigel Smith, Greg van Alstyne, Alison Hahn and Chris Rowat. 1375 pp., with four color plates throughout. 9-3/8 x 7-3/8 inches. Fine. From the publisher: "This massive book is a novel about architecture. Conceived by Rem Koolhaas -- author of Delirious New York -- and Bruce Mau -- designer of Zone -- as a free-fall in the space of the typographic imagination, the book's title, Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large, is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. The book combines essays, manifestoes, diaries, fairy tales, travelogues, a cycle of meditations on the contemporary city, with work produced by Kookhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture over the past twenty years. This accumulation of words and images illuminates the condition of architecture today -- its splendors and miseries -- exploring and revealing the corrosive impact of politics, context, the economy, globalization -- the world.".
