Redefining Thinking Around Architecture.
S,M,L,XL exposes the hidden process of architectural practice through the work of Rem Koolhaas and his studio.
The book spills over with graphs, charts, poems, scripts, revisions, essays, metaphors, panic, chronologies, plans, cartoons, Beckett, events, big men, big type, models, diaries, competitions, notebooks, disasters, artworks, dreams, manifestos, drawings, rants, lectures, cities, speculation, sex, invention and tragedies. Moving in cinematic time, the book dares to “hold a shot too long”; to make the reader see details that would otherwise go unnoticed; to show “bad” images, unresolved ideas or problematic results – all to reveal the underlying invisible process that leads to finished results visible to all.
