REM KOOLHA
AS-an architect
of a kind
17.09.1944-present
Architecture is a hazardous mixture of
omnipotence and impotence. It is by
definition a c h a o t i c a d v e n t u r e... In other words,
the utopian enterprise.

INNOVATIONS IN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
HIGH PERFORMANCE GLAZING SYSTEM
LIGHTING AND VENTILATION
DISPLACEMENT VENTILATION
LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTIONHEAT ISLAND REDUCTION
RAINWATER COLLECTION – 40,000-gallon water storage water tank Used for landscape irrigation. Prevents combined sewer overflows in Puget Sound. Saves about 75,000 gallons of water per year.
WATERLESS URINALS - The 16 urinals in the building save 720,000 gallons of water per year, enough
to serve the indoor water needs of more than 13 homes.
SUSTAINABLE SITE DESIGN
LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTIONExterior lighting is shielded
DROUGHT-TOLERANT LANDSCAPINGZero potable (drinking) water is used for landscaping due to rainwater collection system
HEAT ISLAND REDUCTIONProviding shade to exterior spaces and a light colored Energy Star® roof that reflects heat and light lessens this effect.
Public opinions :
Awarded for innovation and engineering in its "structural solutions".
Usage of the building is double the predicted volume.
CRITICISMS- Many are not too fond of its unusual design.
Condemned by the Project for Public Spaces, which noted "if the library were a true 'community hub,' its most active areas would connect directly to the street.
Personal Opinion
Rigorous analysis of -1. The site2. The city 3. Its existing structures4. Culture of people.
Exploration of the capabilities of various architectural materials available.
Care for the technologies from the beginning of the project.
Proper use of warm and cool colors.
Uniquesness of design
Much to be learnt from.

COMING UP PROJECTS
“I'd say that my profession ends where architectural thinking ends - architectural thinking in terms of thinking about programs and organizational structure. These abstractions play a role in many other disciplines, and those disciplines are now defining their 'architectures' as well.”
