Villa Dall'ava v. Villa Savoy

ShanChan

C'mon - koolhaas is one of the most slavish (sssssss-lavish) re-purposers of arch history there is. you'd have to have been dropped repeatedly on your head as a child, or beat repeatedly as an adult (hopefully), to write otherwise.

ps, i love zaha.

pps, the part about you being beaten repeatedly is just swiftian irony.

I suggest you to read 'basic design method' by Kari Jormakka (pg. 56)
