Origineel stond vorige weekend op Twitter:<\/p>\n

Rem Koolhaas begint steeds meer op Jacques Cousteau te lijken. ( onderbouwing volgt)<\/p>\n

Jacques Cousteau deed in het begin baanbrekend werk maar in de tweede helft van zijn carriere was hij niet meer de vernieuwer die hij was.<\/p>\n

HIj had alles: de Calypso, een onderzeeboot, een watervliegtuig en een toegewijde ploeg personeel. Hij kon werken waar hij wilde.<\/p>\n

Rem Koolhaas is -naar eigen zeggen- op de helft van zijn carriere. Het verrassende werk van OMA \/AMO ligt inmiddels al jaren achter ons<\/p>\n

HIj heeft een gepassioneerd buro wat uitblinkt in zijn werkwijze, kan opdrachten krijgen overal ter wereld, voor elk programma en toch..<\/p>\n

…verwacht ik niet meer de vernieuwende ontwerpen van vroeger.<\/p>\n

Eerder zullen – net als de rode albino petjes van Cousteau- de OMA maniertjes steeds meer een karakteratuur van zichzelf worden.<\/p>\n

Aan de andere kant:Die maniertjes kunnen op termijn wel een fantastische film opleveren zoals Cousteau w(es) Andersons LIFE AQUATIC inspireerde.<\/p>\n

(en ze hebben allebei op deze foto een zure mond.)<\/p>\n

Rem Koolhaas is resembling Jacques Cousteau more and more. ( arguments wil follow)<\/p>\n

In the beginning of his career Jacques Cousteau did ground breaking work. In the second half of his career he stopped being an innovator.<\/p>\n

He had everything: the Calypso, a submarine, a seaplane and a dedicated team. He could work whereever he wanted.<\/p>\n

Rem Koolhaas is -he stated it himself- halfway in his career. The most suprising and innovating work of OMA\/AMO is years behind us.<\/p>\n

He manages a passionate firm, very good in his way of working. He can build where-ever and whatever he wants but still….<\/p>\n

…I don’t expect those innovative designs anymore.<\/p>\n

More probable is – just like the red hats of Cousteau – the further development of typical OMA-style, turning them into cartoon images of themselves.<\/p>\n

On the other side: Cousteau and those red hats gave us the fantastic movie LIFE AQUATIC (wes Anderson) many years later…<\/p>\n

(and they both look very sour in these pictures.)<\/p>\n
