This lecture explores the work of Oswald Mathias Ungers and Rem Koolhaas as expression of a deep-seated engagement with both the disciplinary ideals of architecture, and the everyday constraints of material articulation. Their oeuvres, a combination of building, thinking, teaching and writing, construct an intellectual discourse that is inherently design-based. Revisiting some of their work of the 1970s and 80s provides a foundation for recalibrating architecture today.
