Celebrating 30 years of the groundbreaking publication by iconoclastic architect Rem Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau, now reissued in a new collectible colorway
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.

This publication emerges from ‘Architecture and Extreme Environments’, a master’s programme at the Royal Danish Academy that aims to generate a positive impact on the issues our world faces today. Through a site-specific approach, the programme responds to present and future global challenges through research by design, fine-tuned and site-specific strategies, and active fieldwork in remote locations around the world. The book compiles fieldwork investigations, personal and student work, reflective, methodical and personal essays and finally a summary of the MAP Publication issues to date. A selection of these MAP publications will also be reissued and independently available alongside the book.
