Koolhaas and Lagos
Talking of architecture, top Euro-architect Rem Koolhaas has nurtured a longstanding interest in Lagos. He's spent the past few years leading a research team from Harvard, resulting in a film and a full length analyses in various forms. It's a shame that this material isn't more widely available. Its even more a shame he has yet to build here. There's still time..

Hi,
I am a new naija blogger and visit this blog a lot.
to introduce my blog, i have introduced a meme writing , will u please visit my blog and participate.
you read ladders yet? thats got the whole study on there, plus its got the take on alaba...i felt proud. wrote on exactly the same topic here (http://aihammed.blogspot.com/2006/08/god-bless-simple-for-they-have-dwelt.html) a while ago... you an architect?.
Ladders? Have you got a link to this? I can't find it anywhere. There is an 80 page or so Lagos study in Mutations, but I was led to believe a full-length work was going to come out some day..
i'm very very sorry, i meant mutations and not ladders. ladders is a Pope book which hypes organic city evolution. i think the study is pretty much conclusive in Mutations. Not sure about any more publications to be done on that. Theres the extract from alaba behind that as well.
