Junkspace with Running Room Summary

Junkspace with Running Room by Rem Koolhaas

InJunkspace(2001), architect Rem Koolhaas itemises in delirious detail how our cities are being overwhelmed. His celebrated jeremiad is here updated and twinned withRunning Room, a fresh response from architectural critic Hal Foster.

'The manifesto is a modernist mode, one that looks to the futureJunkspacemakes no such claim: Architecture disappeared in the twentieth century, states Koolhaas matter-of-factly.Junkspacedoes a harder thing: it foretells the present, which is to say that it calls on us to recognize what is already everywhere around us. Hal Foster

Junkspace with Running Room Reviews

Junkspaceis the most important piece of writing on architecture of the 21st Century. The stream of Koolhaass prose is akin to a visionary dream, a structureless sequence of crystalline insight and enfolding opiate fog. . . It is distinctly literary, and there are moments of outright genius.
Icon

Foster responds to Koolhaas with an argument for autonomyboth disciplinary (from one art to the next) and (by implication) personalin order to find space (or the running room of the title) within the junk in which Koolhaas suggests we have drowned. And whether you are at an airport an art fair, thats something we all need.
