Abstract

This paper examines the role of Rem Koolhaas, his architectural firm and think-tanks OMA and AMO, and his recently published book Content in the shaping of debates on European identity. The paper focuses on two issues: (a) Koolhaas's attempt to re-brand, re-present and re-envision Europe and Brussels for the Prodi Commission; (b) his use of creolized and graphic communication and publishing strategies to pursue a distinctive ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã‹Å“EuropeanÃƒÂ¢Ã¢"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ standpoint on globalization.
