It examines how his interviews (with the likes of Le Corbusier, Constant Nieuwenhuys, Gerard Reve, Federico Fellini…)  became essays that exposed power dynamics and cultural shifts. Through first-time English translations and commentary, alongside the original newspaper layouts, it reveals Koolhaas as a keen observer of his time. Rather than viewing this period as a precursor to his architectural career, the collection presents it as a key body of work that emphasises the significance of journalistic storytelling for architecture, not to mention an essential tool for inquiry and critique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Beatriz Colomina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBilingual Dutch\/English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publishers’ note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NAI010 Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358368440660,"sku":"A8B-37931","price":42.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/rkrk.jpg?v=1790814992","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/rem-before-koolhaas","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
