- The Absence of Interior
- Abstract
- Designing interiors was not something OMA occupied itself with in the 1980s.
Aslı Çiçek describes how the project for the
Très Grande Bibliothèque in Paris in 1989
came about without perspectives or interior
images, something that is unimaginable
today. The interior was used as part of a
strategy, rather than as a spatial operation
customised to the user. This is also the
case in other projects. The design for the
interior of advertising agency Lintas (1984)
shows an interest in organising the interior,
rather than in shaping or designing it. The
early work of OMA is a questioning of the
approach of the interior, which can even
result in its absence.
