This Masters dissertation is organised around the examination and dissection of four villas, created by Rem Koolhaas between 1988 and 1998: The Patiovilla, Villa Dall’Ava, Dutch House (also known as the House in the Forest) and the Maison á Bordeaux. These villas are primarily cross referenced with elements extracted from the Tugendhat House by Mies van der Rohe and the Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier, to highlight their presence in Koolhaas’s work.
