Really? Why not? If you've studied architecture you should know that it exists as an intellectual discipline outside of the built environment. Visionary, speculative and critical projects which explore issues important to architecture don't necessarily need to be buildable, believable, or even buildings to be relevant or worthwhile. In fact, I would say that these kind of projects exist as one of the most important parts of architecture as a discipline.
Here's a good example. Check this out - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EWY1PJsPzBA/S7ySUS89CmI/AAAAAAAABq... It's one of Koolhaas' earliest projects. Have you read Delirious New York? If you read that in conjunction with these early, speculative projects as well, there's a pretty clear connection to the work OMA has been producing over the past 30-odd years.
