详细信息
我们称之为“乡村”的农村，偏远和荒野地区，即地球上没有被城市占据的98％的土地，构成了当今最强大的力量——气候和生态破坏、移民、技术，人口突变——发生的前线。在“笛卡尔”体制下，这些地方正在变得面目全非。在他的最新出版物中，雷姆•库哈斯（Rem Koolhaas）探讨了地球广大的非城市地区正在发生的快速且通常是隐藏的转变。

《乡村报告》收集了多篇游记文章，这些文章探索了以处于我们的意识边缘的全球力量和实验为特征的地区：福岛附近的一处试验场，在这里，对将要维护日本的基础设施和农业的机器人进行测试；荷兰的一个温室城市，这座城市可能是当今乡村宇宙学的起源；西伯利亚中部迅速解冻的**冻土，该地区正在努力应对有可能产生的重新安置问题；居住在德国乡村衰落的村庄中并与气候变化积极分子相交的难民；在乌干达为“他们”的领土与人类对峙的山地大猩猩；在美国中西部，工业化农业正在与再生农业接轨；中国村庄变成了多合一的工厂、电子商务商店和运营中心。

这本书是在古根海姆博物馆举办的展览《乡村，未来》的官方指南。这场展览和这本书是建筑师和城市主义者雷姆•库哈斯（Rem Koolhaas）进入一个新的研究领域的标志，他的职业生涯始于两个以城市为中心的实体：大都会建筑事务所（OMA，1975年）和书籍《颠狂的纽约》（1978年）。本书的设计者是Irma Boom，本书口袋大小的概念以及创新的排版和布局的灵感来源于她对梵蒂冈图书馆的研究。

这本书汇集了AMO，Koolhaas和哈佛设计研究生院的学生的共同研究成果；北京中央美术学院，荷兰瓦赫宁根大学和内罗毕大学的学生也参与了此次展览的研究。撰稿者还包括Samir Bantal，Janna Bystrykh，Troy Conrad Therrien，Lenora Ditzler，Clemens Driessen，Alexandra Kharitonova，Keigo Kobayashi，Niklas Maak，Etta Madete，Federico Martelli，Ingo Niermann，Linda Nkatha Gichuyia博士，Kayoko Ota，Stephan Petermann，安妮•施耐德（Anne M. Schneider）。

作者介绍
AMO是Rem Koolhaas于1999年共同创立的大都会建筑事务所（OMA）的智囊团。AMO与Prada，欧盟，环球影城，阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场，康泰纳仕、哈佛大学和艾尔米塔什博物馆都有过合作，它将建筑思维应用于建筑以外的领域。它策划过多场展览，包括《扩张与忽视》 (2005)和威尼斯双年展上的展览《当态度变成形式》（伯尔尼1969 /威尼斯2013）。《海湾》（2006年）、《克罗努卡斯》（2010年），《公共工程》（2012年）和威尼斯建筑双年展上的《建筑元素》（2014年）；以及分别在普拉达基金会（Fondazione Prada），米兰和威尼斯举行的《经典系列》和《便携式经典系列》（均为2015年举办）。

Rem Koolhaas是大都会建筑事务所（OMA）的联合创始人。在成为建筑师之前，他曾做过新闻记者和编剧。1978年他出版了《癫狂的纽约》。他1996年出版的《S，M，L，XL》收录了OMA至今的作品，并在当代社会与建筑之间建立了联系。他荣获过多个国际奖项，其中包括普利兹克奖（2000年）和大英帝国奖（2003年）。他主导了2014年威尼斯建筑双年展，他的**本书《建筑元素》也是在这个时候出版。

IN A NUTSHELL
From animals to robotization, climate change to migration, Rem Koolhaas presents a new collaborative project exploring how countryside everywhere is transforming beyond recognition. The official companion to the highly anticipated exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim Museum, this pocketbook gathers in-depth essays spanning from Fukushima to the Netherlands, Siberia to Uganda—an urgent dispatch from this long-neglected realm, revealing its radical potential for changing everything about how we live.

READ MORE
The rural, remote, and wild territories we call “countryside”, or the 98% of the earth’s surface not occupied by cities, make up the front line where today’s most powerful forces—climate and ecological devastation, migration, tech, demographic lurches—are playing out. Increasingly under a ‘Cartesian’ regime—gridded, mechanized, and optimized for maximal production—these sites are changing beyond recognition. In his latest publication, Rem Koolhaas explores the rapid and often hidden transformations underway across the Earth’s vast non-urban areas.

Countryside, A Report gathers travelogue essays exploring territories marked by global forces and experimentation at the edge of our consciousness: a test site near Fukushima, where the robots that will maintain Japan’s infrastructure and agriculture are tested; a greenhouse city in the Netherlands that may be the origin for the cosmology of today’s countryside; the rapidly thawing permafrost of Central Siberia, a region wrestling with the possibility of relocation; refugees populating dying villages in the German countryside and intersecting with climate change activists; habituated mountain gorillas confronting humans on ‘their’ territory in Uganda; the American Midwest, where industrial-scale farming operations are coming to grips with regenerative agriculture; and Chinese villages transformed into all-in-

one factory, e-commerce stores, and fulfillment centers.

This book is the official companion to the Guggenheim Museum exhibition Countryside, The Future. The exhibition and book mark a new area of investigation for architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, who launched his career with two city-centric entities: The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (1975) and Delirious New York (1978). It’s designed by Irma Boom, who drew inspiration for the book’s pocket-sized concept, as well as its innovative typography and layout, from her research in the Vatican library.

The book brings together collaborative research by AMO, Koolhaas, and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University in the Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi. Contributors also include Samir Bantal, Janna Bystrykh, Troy Conrad Therrien, Lenora Ditzler, Clemens Driessen, Alexandra Kharitonova, Keigo Kobayashi, Niklas Maak, Etta Madete, Federico Martelli, Ingo Niermann, Dr. Linda Nkatha Gichuyia, Kayoko Ota, Stephan Petermann, and Anne M. Schneider.
The authors
AMO is the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), co-founded by Rem Koolhaas in 1999. Applying architectural thinking to domains beyond building, AMO has worked with Prada, the European Union, Universal Studios, Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, Condé Nast, Harvard University, and the Hermitage. It has produced exhibitions, including Expansion and Neglect (2005) and When Attitudes Become Form: Bern 1969/Venice 2013 (2013) at the Venice Biennale; The Gulf (2006), Cronocaos (2010), Public Works (2012), and Elements of Architecture (2014) at the Venice Architecture Biennale; and Serial Classics and Portable Classics (both 2015) at Fondazione Prada, Milan and Venice, respectively.

Rem Koolhaas is a co-founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Having worked as a journalist and scriptwriter before becoming an architect, in 1978 he published Delirious New York. His 1996 book S,M,L,XL summarized the work of OMA and established connections between contemporary society and architecture. Among many international awards, he has received the Pritzker Prize (2000) and the Praemium Imperiale (2003). He directed the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, coinciding with the first publication of Elements of Architecture.
