Quote by Rem Koolhaas
We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.
Summary
This quote suggests that while we often aspire to create beautiful and unique cities, perhaps the current characterlessness or lack of identity that some cities possess is what actually makes them desirable for living. It questions whether the absence of a distinctive style or defining characteristics allows individuals to find their own place and create their own identities within the city. It hints at the idea that a blank slate can be liberating, providing a contextual blank canvas for personal fulfillment and exploration.
