The lecture was pretty interesting last night. The audience was treated to some of Mr. Koolhaas's one-line answers to multi-part questions as well as the zealous youth of Ole Scheeren. Things got a little intense at the end when Rem, after being asked about the cultural reflections ( or lack of) of the CCTV tower, responded: (paraphrase) " We dont design for the governments of China, or Asia, or European flash, or American arsonists..."
Once again though, Wigley showed immeasurable class by remarking that such a massive project deserves criticism and comment and deflty closing the lecture...
all in all, a really good time.
also, Steven Holl was turning the thumbscrews a bit by asking about the massive MEP draw of such a building to which Rem replied " Of course we thought about it, but we had other things to focus on." or something dismissive like that...
anyone else there who can fill in the gaps? I was admittedly a little delirious (pun) from work.
hehe. you should address this specifically to those who weren't asleep in the first fow at rem's lecture...not a bad lecture, just really tired students.
i wondered the same, manug, and maybe ghostgone can clarify, but i guessed that maybe he was referring to the energy use implications (mech, elec, plmbg) of this glass twist with lots of surface area. ??
REM's 2nite lecture @ Columbia on YOUTUBE
to the columbia students in the first row at rems columbia-lecture.
maybe someone of you can bring a small digi-camcorder to shoot the event for the hard working folks out there to set the film online?
...and put the you tube or google video link in the archinect discussions

what is MEP draw?
Being in a simulcast room, I didn't get my chance to ask Rem what time it was during the awkward moment when he decided to take off his watch.
