“Without a tighter union, Europe will disintegrate”- Rem Koolhaas
Dezeen Wire: in an interview with Farah Nayeri for Bloomberg Businessweek, architect Rem Koolhaas describes the European Union as “an incomplete machine” and claims that it will “disintegrate” unless political leaders complete the task of integration begun when the EU was founded.
Koolhaas also talks about working in China, the global workforce currently inhabiting the countryside and his former employee, Zaha Hadid, who he says was “a very independent and massively talented person from the beginning.”
Dezeen spoke to Rem Koolhaas and other partners from his practice OMA at the opening of OMA/Progress, an exhibition at the Barbican art gallery in London. You can see the videos now on Dezeen Screen.
