Oh, and I'm betting Rem Koolhaas is a contraction of the common Dutch name "Harrem," like my friend Harry's real name. With a Dutch accent, there'd be a nearly imperceptible roll of the "r" and a short "e' ([d]REM), and the last name would be pronounced like halfway between "cool" and "coal" (COO-al) and "hoss" only drawled out (HAH-OSS).
Uhh, edited in later, but that's just what Seldom Killer already said. I need to read more thoroughly. |
