“Of course it’s easier to use materials from the shelf, from the catalogue, but we can’t be on the cutting edge if we do that.”

“Past reception [...] is a meeting room filled with smaller maquettes. At first glance there appear to be perspex and foam models for dozens of projects - but close up you see they’re all clearly the same site, [...], modelled over and over again.”

“The model [...] presents itself as a [...] complex entity composed of multitudes of ‘little persons’; it is much bigger, always richer in difference and complexity.”

“Archiving the models allowed architects to keep the traces of creativity for a longer period of time; de-archiving them meant they could rediscover those traces of design invention that time had left intact.”

“The abandoned and temporarily forgotten model of the private house came up to the office and re-entered the cycles of design. Lingering on the tables of models for months, it was finally taken with new assumptions, reshaped, refreshed and adjusted.”

“Ten years ago the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) proposed to acquire OMA's archive. They sent an art historian for four months to the office's basement storage to make an inventory of all the items. When the work was done, OMA decided not to sell. Instead they hired the art historian as its archivist.”

“We [...] spend a lot of time on making books, which is also part of the presentation materials. There is [...] an element of clarifying things for ourselves.”

“Like the tables of models, the books are summaries of the design steps that make the material trajectory of a project traceable. They keep some traces of exploration, and present the results of design experimentation.”
