Rotterdam: 010 Publishers, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Rotterdam, 010 Publishers, 1995 (first European edition). Quarto, xxxii, 1343 pages with approximately 1250 illustrations (350 in colour). Silver papered boards (lettered in black and orange on the spine and front cover) slightly rubbed and bumped; an excellent copy. Edited by Jennifer Sigler; photography by Hans Werlemann. 'This massive book is a novel about architecture. Conceived by Rem Koolhaus - author of "Delirious New York" - and Bruce Mau - designer of Zone - as a free-fall in the spaceof 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 Koolhaus'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' (rear cover blurb).
