Guest lecture: Subversion in Architecture after 2001: Rem Koolhaas’ work through the lenses of Slavoj Žižek

After 9/11, the usual means of postmodern subversion were no longer sufficient. In the sea of a thousand new styles and forms, old- fashioned irony, humor and parody stood no chance, for they had been completely diluted through the cacophony. The strongest of them all – irony – died in 2001 when the NY’s Twins got destroyed, and architects were in a severe need of a strong enough tool to survive the future challenges. The special version of subversive approach, the one by Rem Koolhaas seen through the theories of Slavoj Žižek, has showed itself as the only way to work in this capitalist hyperideological world without complete surrender to its ruthless ‘machinery’. This lecture tries to answer the question - what is the secret of Koolhaas’ new architectural tool for the post-2001 era?
