Rem Koolhaas

B’ e ailtire a bh' ann a sheanair agus sgrìobhadair a bh' ann athair. Nuair a bha e ochd bliadhna a dh’aois, fhuair athair cuireadh prògram cultarail air dòigh san Innd-Innse, leis gur esan fear-iomairt saoradh na dùthcha. Chuir an teaghlach trì bliadhna seachad ann an Jakarta agus thug an turas sin buaidh mhòr air Rem òg. Air ais sna Tìrean Ìsle bha e na neach-aithris leis a’ phàipear-naidheachd De Haagse Post, a bharrachd air a bhith a’ sgrìobhadh sgriobtaichean nam film.

Chaidh Koolhaas dhan sgoil Ailtireachd Architectural Association School of Architecture ann an 1968, nuair a bha e 24 bliadhna a dh’aois, agus an uair sin gu Oilthigh Cornell, ann an Ithaca ann an 1972, far an robh e fo stiùireadh Mathias Ungers. A thuilleadh air sin, chuir e seachad na oileanach aig Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies ann an Eabhraig Nuadh cuideachd. Chuir Koolhaas Oma (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) air dòigh ann an co-bhann le Elia Zenghelis, Zoe Zenghelis agus a bhean Madelon Vriesendorp. Ann an 1978 sgrìobh e an leabhar Delirious New York far a dhearbhaich e a chuid bheachdan-smuainealas taobh Ailtireachd. Dh’fhoillsich e S,M,L,XL, ann an 1995 ann an co-bhann le Bruce Mau, Jennifer Sigler agus Hans Werlemann. ‘S e leabhar uabhasach fada a bh' ann (1,376 duilleagan) ann an stoidhle ùr, a dh’atharraich clò-bhualadh an ailtireachd gu mòr.
