Default !ˇ!ˇ!ˇ!ˇ>Rem Koolhaas to Build in Mexico<!ˇ!ˇ!ˇ!ˇ

Odia Koolhaas 'star system

Reforma

(16 June 2007).-



El holandés Rem Koolhaas (Rotterdam, 1944) odia la etiqueta de star system que engloba a los arquitectos de renombre mundial, pues considera que tiende a minimizar su potencial creativo, pero reconoce que forma parte de esa élite.

"Real y sinceramente, odio esta palabra (star system), y la odio porque está vinculada a la mera creación de iconos. Decidí quedarme en Holanda porque ahí la idea de celebridad ni siquiera existe, no es algo relevante y tratamos de que no lo sea".

Ser parte de este selecto grupo, admite, tiene ciertas ventajas, como la credibilidad, pues sus clientes no temen que sus ideas sean irrealizables. El aspecto negativo es la arraigada creencia de que, como arquitectos, están dispuestos a hacer cualquier cosa, cuando debe haber un sentido para concretar la ambición de alguien más.

The Prize Pritzker 2000, that has been traveling to Mexico for one decade, will announce in several weeks plus his first architectonic project in the Country (Mexico), one which better knows the Latin American region.

Without providing details on the building, that will be constructed in the Federal District (Mexico City) and that, according to journalistic reports, it could be a skyscraper, he admitted that it would like to work in Historical Downtown and emphasized his interest in the renovation of spaces. “To recover the downtown it is good, but it is not enough so that in the rest of the city everything marches well”, the architect thinks, who this week met with Marcelo Ebrard, Head of capital Government.


The image that it retains of the capital is the one of an infinite city, with beautiful landscapes, great and simultaneously glad, where the unexpected constructions manage to coexist with the buildings of high design. Today it is to him less chaotic and paranoica, it says, that during his first visits.

Koolhaas, quien trabaja actualmente en la nueva sede del canal de televisión oficial de China, CCTV en Beijing, desde donde se transmitirán las Olimpiadas de 2008, cuestiona la obsesión mundial por la creación de iconos arquitectónicos.

"Es una situación desafortunada porque limita a los arquitectos a crear formas, mientras los aspectos sociales o culturales de su obra quedan ocultos. No podemos evadir esa expectativa (de crear iconos), por eso hay que insistir en hacer trabajos serios", afirma en entrevista.

De visita en México, el urbanista y autor de Delirious New York (1978) explica que el efecto principal de la economía sobre la arquitectura es que, mientras hace 50 años, la mayor parte del trabajo se concentraba en el sector público, hoy se dirige al sector privado.

"El traslado de lo público a lo privado es una diferencia abismal. La idea de las celebridades, de los iconos, de reducir todo a la forma está íntimamente ligado a ese cambio, porque es lo que el mercado reconoce".

Koolhaas confiesa que no opone resistencia a la economía de mercado e intenta verla desde un ángulo crítico. "Somos la primera generación de arquitectos que trabajamos en todo el mundo: China, Kazajstán, Rusia, los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Estados Unidos o México, países con sistemas políticos, economías e historias diferentes".

La ausencia de voces autorizadas para reconocer quién es en la actualidad un arquitecto consagrado ha provocado que sean nombrados por los medios de comunicación.

"Casi no se practica una crítica seria, ni en Europa ni en Estados Unidos; quizá haya uno o dos (profesionales). El sistema de quién otorga el reconocimiento se perdió", asegura uno de los fundadores en 1975 y codirector de la firma OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture).

Koolhaas emphasizes the enormous influence of the architects of Latin America in the world, and as it proves of the sophistication reached in the region it refers that Ricardo Legorreta is his neighbor in Qatar, because the Mexican also develops in that country several projects.
