OMA y la ciudad: filosofias y transformaciones en el pensamiento Koolhaas

Abstract

The City is an organism in constant change (mutation) where you can clearly see the overall impact on society in cultural, political, socio-economic level, which generates an urban and architectonic response product of these policies in transition. Globalization acting on the city and the architecture of the new century, consumption spaces, overpopulation in large cities, all these produces continuous mutations in society and in the territories they inhabit. This phenomenon is anticipated by Koolhaas over other architects, proposing architectures that provide the advent of the accelerated globalization, through logical adaptation to the already chaotic reality, subjective logic to many, but postulate important treaties for the management and understanding "generalized" of the cities, and especially the setting of new adapting architectures inside them. This article will provide a clear understanding of the concept of City by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, which differs significantly from other theories; in the logical approach in planning of the cities and their architectures.
