Join us for a tour through the exhibition led by Alex Mowat, Director of Urban Salon Architects, designers of the exhibition OMA Living, 1999, at the ICA.
Urban Salon on 'Living':
The ICA asked us to design and produce an exhibition of the work of Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture within four weeks. Our brief was to communicate OMA's architectural ideas and projects to a wide audience and make them accessible to people who are not necessarily familiar with conventional architectural drawings and design processes.
The exhibition was on two levels. In the lower gallery, we used long cantilevered plinths to display OMA's domestic models in order to demonstrate their drama, compression, weight and contradiction. In the upper gallery, the context and development of Schipol airport was explored using large projected abstract logos and diagrams together with a model of the proposed airport island. A sound recording of aeroplanes landing and airport tannoy systems filled the space. The galleries were linked together by using Rem Koolhaas' publication, SMLXL, in a linear sequence along the corridor spaces.
