Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition, Later Print boldly signed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect and author Rem Koolhaas on one of the half-title pages without inscription using silver marker. Contents identical to the First Edition, the only difference being in the color of the writing on the front cover and spine (light blue and black instead of yellow and black). Illustrated throughout with color and black and white photographs, drawings, facsimiles and plans. "Conceived by Rem Koolhaas--author of Delirious New York--and Bruce Mau--designer of Zone--as a free-fall in the space of the typographic imagination, the book's title, Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large, is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. The book combines essays, manifestoes, diaries, fairy tales, travelogues, a cyle of meditations on the contemporary city, with work produced by Koolhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture over the past twenty years. This accumulation of words and images illuminates the condition of architecture today--its splendors and miseries--exploring and revealing the corrosive impact of politics, context, the economy, globalization--the world." -- the publishers.
