          OMA and the Politics of the Grands

        Abstract
        In his essay, Pier Vittorio Aureli describes
        how OMA gave vent to the politics of the
        Grands Projets, launched between 1982
        and 1983 by the French government. The
        competitions for public monuments in
        Paris were organised to make culture more
        widely accessible. With the competition
        for Parc de la Villette in 1982, the government
        wanted to create a place where
        culture, production, education, social
        exchange and leisure would merge. OMA
        took up the challenge by designing a park
        as an accelerator of metropolitan life.
        Today, says Aureli, the OMA projects from
        the 1980s can be read as a critique of the
        economic crisis, and of the unfulfilled
        promises of social mobility and urban
        spectacle.

      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.

      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.
