Presentations and conversations about 'Rem before Koolhaas', the first book to uncover Rem Koolhaas’s early work as a journalist.

Rem before Koolhaas: Journalism by an Architect is a book by Antonio Cantero about Rem Koolhaas’s early work as a journalist in the sixties. Offering a fresh look at this period and including a new interview with Koolhaas, Cantero explores how Koolhaas’s interviews often became essayistic pieces that register power dynamics, social realities and cultural shifts within a specific media ecology. The event will include presentations by Antonio Cantero and Beatriz Colomina, followed by a conversation with Rem Koolhaas, Antonio Cantero, Beatriz Colomina, and Mark Wigley.Rem before Koolhaas is the first book to uncover Rem Koolhaas’s early work as a journalist for Haagse Post between 1963 and 1967. Featuring original Haagse Post layouts and first-time English translations, Cantero’s book reveals Koolhaas as both an observer of his time and an interviewer for whom writing became a space for learning. Rather than treating journalism as a biographical precursor to his architectural career, Rem before Koolhaas presents it not as a professional identity but as a retrospective position from which this body of work can be read on its own terms.
