| Abstract |
This study focuses on the analysis of "the strategy of void" and the carecteristic of the void in the projets of OMA-Rem Koolhaas. Denying the fantasy of omnipotence of architecture, the void of OMA means not only the emptiness but also the instability, indeterminacy of program. The Melun-Senart projet(1987) called the strategy of void I, and the french national library project(1989) called the strategy of void II are the examples in the contrast of void and solid. From 1996, OMA-Koolhaas do experiments on the strategy of void actively with the others concepts of OMA such as architectural promenade, inclined plate, etc. In order to investigate the concept of void, this study will investigate the architectural genealogy and developpement of this concept in the projects of Koolhaas from 1975 to 2006, and compare the variation of the concept of ‘poche’ of Beaux-art and the concept of servant space/served space of Louis Kahn, etc. This study intends to precise the meaning of void in the projects of Rem Koolhaas. |
