Rem Koolhaas and the Influence of Architectural Thought and Practice
on OMA School Architects
Great project, through your approach you were 'embedded' without actually being there,
very clever. (03.02.2011)
its very interesting!!! (28.01.2011)
"Very Interesting Yan" (23.01.2011)
"amazing - truly great work!" (24.01.2011)
"His graduate thesis, “Rem Koolhaas and the Influence of Architectural Thought and Practice
on OMA School Architects” was by far the most thought provoking thesis of all time.
He was able to unraveled complex relationship between Rem Koolhaas, OMA*AMO,
and people who worked with the organization and capturing its influences that shaped
contemporary architectural practice of this era." (20.01.2011)

This project is the research, which took almost 2 years to be completed, on how Rem Koolhaas work on his designs, his architectural approaches, and his architectural practice. What is so special about him that makes him one of the world greatest architects. What is so special about his practice in OMA*AMO. And what are the influences of his work and his thinking process on the company he worked with both in the past and the present. The Thai Completed (A4) 264 pages book. Before, architecture was designed and created by architect’s individual approach. It is the common practice to solve design problems. The variety of design can be depended on social, environment, economics, and belief. The approach is usually passed from masters to their students which particular context helps shaping design. However, for most architects, “intuitive and aesthetic senses are still remain in their heart and soul. The establishment of design firm who is a former architect in Rem Koolhass’s house has become larger across Europe to America and some parts in Asia. The thinking approach is followed research-based practice which is the most prominent approach today. The objectives of this research are: 1.to analyze Rem Koolhaas’s architectural approach and his way of teaching; 2. to analyze Rem Koolhaas’ system of passing on knowledge through his office; 3. to study the influence of Rem Koolhaas on OMA School architects. Interviews of Rem Koolhaas’s friends, professor, and OMA School Architects both independent and dependent around the world were conducted for 5 months. The result from overall interviews begin with finding solution, based on the original research question, and use “indexing” as methodology which lead to important “keywords” and information verification, then use “data triangulation” method for cross-checking the solution. The procedures of clarifying the objectives are separated into research issues and using qualitative research methodology by gathering data from interview and other secondary sources. The result of this study has shown that Koolhaas’s approach can be divided into 2 steps: conceptual thinking and physical design thinking. His distinguishable approach neglected all architectural conventions and did not specify the result of his approach only on the building, but integrated social, economic, political issued with architectural thoughts to find out the new way by denying intuitive thinking in all processes but use research as a thinking tool, which corresponds with his various roles as designer, writer, educator, and lecturer. The overlapped roles result in new forms of architectural production such as joint research with academic institutions, new genres of architectural publication, consistent supplies of skilled employees for OMA*AMO and the discourse of architectural itself. Through his many outlets, Koolhaas not only demonstrates his approach to architecture, but also spreads his influence for into the academic, professional, and theoretical realms. |

Global Warming has been hot issue for years. But the campaigns to solve this problem have no
powerful impact worldwide. They are always campaign to solve the problem from disaster with no plan
to prevent it from happening...

This work, a quest to save the planet, requires so many researches to support the possibility of doing it,
to support the question of how to solve/help Global Warming worldwide,
and to support the everyday life of the people all around the world.
The key of this quest to save the planet lies in this simple sentence: matters always exist.
Matters always contain the energy even when they change their form and shape.
The concept can be used with human’s excrement and adapted into the powerful ‘weapon’
to deal with Global Warming.
