The Official Paradigm Shift thread
2008.05.19 20:47

After reading "Shifting Paradigm Part I" and "Shifting Paradigm Part II" (which really didn't impress me), Koolhaas's "Typical Plan" text came to mind. I'll read it again more carefully. I feel there might be some connection to 'generic-ness' and the decorated shed. Maybe not.

some great quotes though:
Typical Plan provides the multiple platforms of 20th-century democracy.

Typical Plan is minimalism for the masses.

Typical Plan knows what European architecture will never learn.

...it is architecture as mantra.

I'm secretly working on Plan Atypical.
