KOOLHAAS, Rem.

Item Number: 745

New York: Oxford University, 1978.

First edition of Rem Koolhaas’ masterpiece on the architectural design of one of the most celebrated cities in the world. Folio, original cloth. Signed by Rem Koolhaas on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

"Manhattan, Koolhaas writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." One of the great architectural classics of the second half of the 20th century.
