Rem Koolhaas on Rotterdam

Rotterdam city centre

It’s a weird city because the uglier the weather, the more beautiful the city. And the uglier the buildings, the more coherent the city.

    most cities are beautiful in their own way, there is a certain kind of aura that they radiate. i guess what really matters is that they have their own character: one that distinguishes a city from another, and they needn’t have beautiful buildings or great weather.
