Abstract
When Rem Koolhaas wrote his essay on Atlanta - a clear extension to his thesis developed in the “Generic City" (1995) - a shift on his stance on discourse occurred. Koolhaas’ moved away from his reapp-aisal of Modernism’s banalities to what we would later come to know as post-criticism (in great manner inspired by his concept of ''Manhattanism'', developed in his book Delirious New York, where he praised the capacity of architecture to be informed by new technologies such as the elevator and described the divorce between its performance and appearance).
