Preliminary concept sketches for S,M,L,XL by Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau, presented at the AA’s Book Machine exhibition.

Texts reads, from left to right:

1. The book is conceived as a block of information.
2. The number represent six “families” of projects presented in the book. Each of these groups is presented in a differenct spirit - in a form appropiate to its contents.
3. These two components, the Dictionary and the project “families” run on parallel tracks throughout the book … Through their proximity, these incongruous parts activate each other.
4. Each spread within this block is a moment in time - a freeze-frame … the typography no longer has to pretend coherence for the entire length of the book. Instead, it will be a sequence of calibrated episodes…the typography equivalent of the plot.

In 1961, the illustrious art duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude began seeking permission to wrap the German parliament building in fabric and rope. It took 24 years to convince the elected members of Parliament that this was a worthwhile endeavor. Finally, in the summer of 1995, the couple spearheaded the wrapping of the Reichstag in more than 100,000 square meters of aluminum-lined, fireproof polypropylene fabric and 15 km of rope, effectively neutralizing the historical and spatial expressions of a German landmark while creating their most famous “packaged and wrapped object” to date.
