Dossier: At the office
We begin with an OMA project, who worked perhaps the hardest, along with the offices of Foster and Rogers, to the reinvention of the office building; a re‑invention not relating to forms per se, but to typological innovation. The office building for public administration in Rotterdam is a far cry from today’s oddly spectacular shapes, but it takes the grid to its very edges, turning it into a tool for urban insertion and context adaptation.

Strange castles, nearly 100 meters high, with rods, slabs, enormous bellies with iron guts; huge halls; a big barrel full of water, where the wreckages of several little boats and an aircraft are floating; concrete tanks, pools with overgrown water lilies; rows of pillars suffocated by vines; a forest with floating pipes; and still, you do not feel in a detective, post‑apocalyptic or Tarkovsky movie, because there are playgrounds everywhere, and climbing contraptions.
