Acoustic


The auditorium is a fixed rake rectangular box with very long straight rows of seats. The double skin end walls of sinuous corrugated glass provide acoustic enclosure and dramatically distorted views to the outside.

Rem Koolhaas

Conclusion

Rem Koolhaas is one of the world's most intriguing architects. He is also an acute observer of politics, economics, cities and the way buildings work. How he manages to balance the two is something of a wonder. Here is an architect who could happily sit down one day with God to design refined and purposeful public buildings knitted into the fabric of old cities, and the next with the devil to design the wayward architecture demanded by ultra-capitalism.For all this reason we choose this architect for our final english's project, because we want to show you all excellent projects about Rem Koolhaas, and know him a litter bit more.
