Rem Koolhass’ Elements of Architecture is a big book. Like, a really big book. Clocking in at around 2600 pages (yep, two thousand six hundred) you won’t be sliding it into your tote bag on the bus of a morning. Conceived as “a look through the microscope at the real fundamentals of our buildings, revealing the essential design techniques used by any architect, anywhere, anytime,” and produced by the Dutch architect and theorist with a little assistance from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, it was first released in 2014 as part of Rem’s 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale exhibition, and is about to get a lavish and large-scale reissue by Taschen.
