Collaboration between Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau. Edited by Jennifer Sigler. Photographs by Hans Werlemann. Designed by Bruce Mau Design, Inc., Bruce Mau with Kevin Sugden, and Nigel Smith, Greg van Alstyne, Alison Hahn and Chris Rowat. 1375 pp., with four color plates throughout. 9-3/8 x 7-3/8 inches. Fine. From the publisher: "This massive book is a novel about architecture. 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 cycle of meditations on the contemporary city, with work produced by Kookhaas'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 book's title is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. While Small and Medium address issues ranging from the domestic to the public, Large focuses on what Koolhaas calls "the architecture of Bigness." Extra-Large features projects at the urban scale, along with the important essay "What Ever Happened to Urbanism?" and other studies of the contemporary city. Running throughout the book is a "dictionary" of an adventurous new Koolhaasian language -- definitions, commentaries, and quotes from hundreds of literary, cultural, artistic, and architectural sources.
