Introduction to new research, the contemporary city. Rem Koolhaas.

'The contemporary city is a research about emerging forms of architecture in the city today and wants to discuss the implications and possibilities of the current changes. The investigation is aimed at the 'official debate', but the documentation and interpretation of a series of seemingly spontaneous and independent processes, with different effects in cities such as Paris, Atlanta and Tokyo.

All these processes seem to lead to an inevitable fragmentation of the existing city, a shift center of gravity of the dynamic urban center of the city to the urban periphery, and a remarkable ingenuity in avoiding urbanistic rules.

After a period of almost exclusive interest in the historical city - and in relation to it, 'the house' - a series of architects headed new territories.

Many of these projects are located in a modern setting 'contemporary' in brownfields, on the outskirts of the city or further afield, in 'new towns' or in open landscapes. Topics existing program - parks, corporate headquarters, etc. - Is addressed in a new way and customers change their requirements. The possibilities are still uncertain , but contain the beginning of new forms in architecture and town planning, without the nostalgia Post-modern and modern tabula rasa. The common characteristic is an absence of preconceived theories, an enthusiastic release of a series of self-imposed dogmas and a new sensitivity against coolindante the qualities of the environment.

The contemporary city is retroactive manifesto yet to recognize the beauty of the urban landscape of the late twentieth century. "

All this brings us back to a phrase that Oriol Clos said during his lecture on the 22 @ which stated that within a landscape act as Lessee, means to establish or enter into a conversation with it, and to establish such a conversation is essential to know what it talk, listen in order to enter, after review and finally define the direction of it. Within the parallel architecture, it is necessary to place concerted and listen, to understand how to act.
