Come on, no need to be patronising, no need to name drop either. I posted the Koolhaas project because apparently OMA fits your definition of architecture and I was trying to draw a connection between the critical positions of speculative and built work.
Back to the original point of this though - why doesn't that project fit your definition of architecture?
>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.
Actually that was patronizing. The names were merely to inform the background of my studies so we could dispose with further discussion of my awareness of various dimensions of architectural thought and expression. >Back to the original point of this though - why doesn't that project fit your definition of architecture? It is of course subjective. Your milage may vary. Perhaps you will explain what you find particularly architectural (to say nothing of "visionary") about the work?
