1978 competition for the Dutch Parliament Extension | Socks Studio

The surrealist theorem of the Cadavre Exquis was studied and applied by Rem Koolhaas since the beginning of his architectural practice. In a later variation it allowed different members of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture to work separately on different parts of a project and assemble them only later through group sessions.

This working method suited particolarly well the demands of the 1978 competition for the Dutch Parliament Extension in the Binnenhof complex (at the heart of The Hague), allowing the team (at the time composed by Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis and a freshly graduated Zaha Hadid) to interpret and stress the caothic historical development of the area.

The Binnenhof complex went through an uninterrupted process of architectural and programmatic trasformations, leading to a final condition in which incoherent stratifications and abrupt solutions cohexisted.

{One of the main reasons why I got the Roman & Williams book - it was actually one of the first books in my “design library", which is still a baby at this point - was because of Stephen Alesch’s sketches and drawings. I love his style. You can go to their website, or buy their book if you want to see more.}

‘Perspectives’ by British architect John Pawson. “Perspectives is essentially a tool for viewing, incorporating the largest concave meniscus crystal lens ever commissioned from Swarovski’s optical division. This lens sits on the flat surface of a metal hemisphere so highly polished it resembles a pool of mercury. The effect of bringing these two elements together is to provide sharply honed perspectives of isolated elements of a spatial environment. The piece is designed to be as simple and visually refined as possible, but the focus of the project falls not on the physicality of the object itself, so much as how this object enables people to see in a different way," says Pawson. The inaugural project of the newly created Swarovski Foundation, Perspectives was installed below the cupola of Andrea Palladio’s Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, as part of the 55th International Art Exhibition.
