Between 1963 and 1968, Koolhaas regularly contributed to the Dutch weekly, \u003ci\u003eHaagse Post\u003c\/i\u003e. His specialty was the interview. Through his deft powers of observation and analysis, the young Koolhaas employed the form to make visible power dynamics and cultural shifts. \u003cbr\u003eThis pocket-size volume is the first to compile Koolhaas' interviews for the \u003ci\u003eHaagse Post\u003c\/i\u003e, reproducing their original layouts. Rather than treating this period as a mere precursor to his architectural career, \u003ci\u003eRem Before Koolhaas\u003c\/i\u003e presents it as culminating in a valuable body of critical work that lent itself to his later endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rem Koolhaas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462089450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462089457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nai010 Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Rem Koolhaas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066745925887,"sku":"9789462089457","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bd92255-67dc-418f-87b5-2ec118d4371f.jpg?v=1768680277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rem-before-koolhaas-rem-koolhaas-9789462089457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
