Designed and conceived by Bruce Mau and Rem Koolhaas, the 1300-page compendium of projects and texts was generated by Pritzker Prize-winning Rem Koolhaas' Office for Metropolitan Architecture. This was followed in 2000 with Life Style, a book by Mau about his studio's practice. In 2004, Mau launched Massive Change, an ambitious, multi-venue exhibition on the possibilities of design culture. Massive Change was also presented as a book published by Phaidon, a web project, a radical educational experiment, and high profile public events bringing together practitioners from the various disciplines in question. The Massive Change exhibition opened to critical acclaim at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2003, and has since toured to the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
