Koolhaas captures precisely the congestion and complexity of comtemporary architecture. Bigness is a concept that will deal with how to intervene in these situations, the influence of a variety of architectural and urban phenomenon. Divisive situation by exploring the relationship of these changes in behavior and the physical space and the relationship of architecture and urban, Bigness penetrated the answer, he puts out. However, in order to precede the retracted and removed to accommodate the complex and chaotic, it becomes a city, Bigness deny the actual city. Therefore Bigness itself clearly reveals the situation of chaos and division to strengthen the role of the limits of the location on the border.
