        • Modernism on Steroids
          Casa Palestra, The Domestic Project

        Abstract
        Luis Castillo Villegas writes about OMA’s
        version of a gym or a Casa palestra,
        designed in 1986 for the 17th Triennial of
        Milan. The architecture seems simple: it is
        a ‘bent’ reproduction of the Barcelona
        Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe. Nevertheless,
        there are notable differences, such as the
        use of materials and the programmatic
        intensity. The most symbolic decision in
        the design is the purloin of the original
        sculpture in Mies’s pavilion by Georg Kolbe,
        replaced by Koolhaas with the statue of a
        naked female bodybuilder.

      What does the author’s ‘owning’ of a project mean? And does this sense of ownership still prevail in contemporary architecture culture? Other more open forms of cooperation and co-creation are emerging alongside the concept of individual singular authorship.

      Now available: OASE 112. Ecology & Aesthetics

      Through a series of concrete projects, the contributions in this issue explore the field of tension between architectural aesthetics and issues of energy, technology and materiality. Ecological practices in architecture must not only be effective in providing solutions, but inevitably raise questions of beauty, affection and perception as well.
