THE LUCKY NUMBER

D

ear reader, You are holding the 13th edition of Bespoken in your hands, and we consider this to be a very lucky number. This version of our magazine has seen some changes – our editorial team have made great efforts to improve on readability – you will find a little less text and many more pictures and following our readers’ requests, we have included more ‘look and fashion’ tips. After all, this is what we are all about, providing the discerning man with the perfect platform to design his own inspiring wardrobe.

We want to take you even deeper into the world of the Scabal man, by giving you an insight into our ‘Misters’’ choice of cars, holiday destinations, accessories and, most importantly, tailors. While ‘Mr. Style’ is more classical, more British and more romantic, ‘Mr. Strategy’ is more business-minded, cerebral and lively – a gentleman who would find himself very much at ease in the monumental office towers we highlight in our architectural review. The Misters and the ‘look book’ obviously only highlight examples of what browsing through the Scabal collection can bring – many more examples can be found on our new website or, of course, in one of our numerous Scabal stores. This time, a strong emphasis has been placed on accessories, since they represent a very important element of style.

Building an international brand is a long-term project, and many steps need to be taken.

After opening our first flagship store in Brussels, we are now taking things much further a field. June saw the opening of our first Chinese retail location in Beijing, a milestone that will hopefully only be the beginning of a long adventure in this booming market.

As the little logo on the bottom of this page indicates, we are very proud to look back at 75 years of activity as a cloth merchant, from the first sales of our founder in 1938 to today.

You will find this logo on many of our communications throughout the rest of the year in order to commemorate this happy anniversary.

We wish you, as always, happy reading.

5,000 The number of exclusive fabrics in Scabal’s permanent collections

© Scabal

By Jérôme Stéfanski

An invaluable reserve of fabrics is maintained at Scabal’s headquarters, in the centre of Brussels – more than 5,000 styles are permanently available and sold by the metre, with no minimum requirement. Clients who typically order Scabal fabrics are traditional tailors, renowned fashion designers, international luxury fashion brands and fashion stores, and costume designers for movies, operas and theatres. A large portion of these fabrics is also personally used by Scabal itself to create its own readyto-wear and made-to-measure garments. Scabal guarantees that all orders are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. This is quite an achievement, but also a necessity for a company that exports to more than 65 countries throughout the world. Six expert cutters are responsible for the 800 lengths of fabric that are hand cut every day – a sophisticated stock system, based on a combination of computer statistics and human judgement, has been developed to manage this stock.

Mr. STYLE and FABRIC N째801875

Mr. Style is a globetrotting cosmopolite. His attitude to life is a confluence of classic English courtesy, south-European flair and relaxed Americana. He loves to combine rugged menswear pieces and classic tailoring with an interesting twist. Everything he wears needs to be smart but casual, to smooth his demanding journeys. For special end-of-year trips, Mr. Style adheres to his beautiful winter jacket from the Shetland & Donegal collection. It is a traditionally woven fabric, n째 801875, a pleasantly warm wool made from the finest fibers. Its plain weave, natural finish and sturdy weight give the jacket the trendy rustic look and voluminous feel that Mr. Style is so fond of. With its subtly speckled shades of brown, this stylish country tweed can be worn on both casual and more dressed-up occasions. An original, all-round choice, if you want to perfect your contemporary winter look.

British style during the Mille Miglia Mr. Style has barely noted a test of the Bentley New Continental GTC V8 he will be enjoying together with Mrs Style when his telephone rings again. Will he put the Jaguar F-Type through its paces around Firenze and drive part of the Mille Miglia course with the same car? Yes indeed – he’s right in with the official participants of this iconic old-timer race. His tweed cap slips to the side as he tries to scratch his head. To test Jaguar’s first sportscar in 50 years in what Enzo Ferrari described as “La corsa più bella del Mondo” (the most beautiful course in the world); that’s what you call testing a car in style.

By Anja Van Der Borght

Jaguar F-TYPE

M

Jaguar F-TYPE

r. Style mentally reviews the engine sounds that he has exposed his ears to in recent years. Only a few Aston Martin models can compete with the glorious bellowing and exploding sound of the brand new Jaguar F-Type. He would consider an S version of the new Jaguar F-Type for this unique sound alone. The first real sports car in years from the British manufacturer will be available in three models – the F-Type, the F-Type S and the F-Type

12

V8 S – powered respectively by the new 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine of 340 and 380 bhp, and the 5.0 litre V8 petrol engine of 495 bhp (which Mr Style remembers from the XF and the XJ). With the combination of front engine and rear wheel drive, the F-Type provides the technical basis for pure dynamic driving pleasure.

And that is something that Mr. Style can experience first-hand when testing the three models. The chassis of the F-Type feels beautifully balanced, and the grip is amazing. Nevertheless, in the V8 (the

top model of the series), by accelerating hard around bends Mr. Style can create perfectly controlled oversteer. Heavenly!

So this V8 is a full-blooded sportscar that reaches 100kph (62mph) in 4.3 seconds.

Personally, our test pilote would actually recommend the V6 S. For everyday use it is just that little bit less restless than the V8. In all three versions, the eightspeed Quickshift gear box shifts equally quickly. In the inviting interior with its quality finish, Mr. Style’s attention is immediately attracted to the ingenious

Bentley New Continental GTC V8

ventilation vents that rise out of the dashboard like a state-of-the-art airco when the climate control is switched on.

He also admires the copper-coloured shift paddles and other accents. Wayne Burgess, responsible with Ian Callum for the elegant and clean lines of the F-Type, gained the inspiration for this from his copper-coloured watch. “An Arnold & Son” he wonders? No, it turns out to be a Diesel. Mr. Style gathers that Burgess’s favourite design feature is the hand-made centre-mounted double exhaust on the V6-models. These are at the same time the largest and the most striking exhaust pipes that have ever been mounted on a Jaguar. They are hand made in the workshops of the Italian Unifer (a company specialising in exhausts for premium engines). The V6 models have two centre-mounted exhaust pipes, a reference to Jaguar sportscars of earlier days; the V8 has a double exhaust on the left and another on the right. In this way, an onlooker knows immediately which model he is seeing.

Bentley New Continental GTC V8

Mr. Style’s wife has always been a fan of the Bentley Continental models. She loves the irresistible combination of luxury, everyday driving comfort, and sportiness. And this is just the same with the Bentley New Continental GTC V8, the second generation of the successful cabrio inspired by the GT. Mr. Style immediately notices the more powerful and somewhat more agressive look of the four seater cabrio, while Mrs. Style sees at first glance that the car provides more space, particularly for the rear seating. The more-agressive look was chosen deliberately because the 6 litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine is not only linked to a new QuickShift gear box that shifts even faster, but is also more powerful. Its power output has been increased from 552 bhp (412kW) to 567 bhp (423 kW) and the torque by 50 Nm to 700 Nm. An absolute plus is that, in contrast to the 50-50 division in the previous GTC,

the transmission of the new cabrio splits the torque 40-60. The result: less understeer when coming out of a bend (one of the points of criticism of the previous model, he remembers), and better roadholding. Mrs Style thinks that she has found the perfect Bentley cabrio, and really enjoys herself in the winding lanes of the German Eiffel.

At no moment does the cabrio fail to meet expectations, and the grip is phenomenal. Now to convince Mr. Style to manage without that Jag...

Of malt and men

Mr. Style has a serious weakness for tradition and savoir-faire, especially in a region that he loves so much. Naturally, he chose a fabric from the Shetland and Donegal collection for his jacket and, likewise, he became very interested in the history of the Balvenie, the last distillery to control the entire process of making Scotch whisky.

By JP Talbot

Balvenie Castle

T

he Balvenie Distillery was founded in 1893 in Balvenie Castle, which once heard the echoing voice of Robert the Bruce. Here, in the heart of the fertile Speyside, the distillery began its operations. The castle’s basement became a warehouse, the first storey a maltings floor, and upstairs a loft for the barley from the thousand acres of Balvenie Mains, the adjacent farm. In the 1920s, a new maltings was built, using stone blocks. Little else has changed over the years. Today, 120 years after its creation, the Balvenie Single Malt is recognized for its exceptional quality, which is due to the fact that the distillery nurtures a high level of craftsmanship

David Stewart, fifth Balvenie Malt Master

that other malt whisky producers no longer employ. “Nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, still malts in its own traditional maltings, still employs coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills”, say its happy employees.

and the evolution it goes through from newmake spirit fresh off the still to the complex alchemy of its maturation in oak casks.”

A few years after he took office, the Balvenie Classic was born. There followed several more whiskys, created of the know-how and precise craft that 12 years’ only around a dozen malt masters have apprenticeship yet mastered in Scotland. The business Behind this expertise lies David Stewart, is based primarily on the nose and fifth Balvenie Malt Master. He actually looking for the best blends – a matter of joined the distillery in 1962, aged 17, patience, passion and experience. “Being with 12 years of apprenticeship before a malt master is not an ordinary job, and him. “During that time, I learned about because the apprenticeship is so long, you every aspect of the job from my predecessor,” need to be patient and fully dedicated to the he recalls. “This included developing a craft. You obviously need to live in Scotland, deep understanding of the Balvenie whisky as by law Scotch can’t be made anywhere

The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts. Each has a very individual taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of the Balvenie.

Today, the Balvenie Distillery produces a multi-award-winning range of the Balvenie single malts, which includes the Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old, the Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year Old, the Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old and the Balvenie Thirty. Limited editions are also bottled every year. www.thebalvenie.com Coppersmith tools

The Balvenie uses its own traditional floor malting

Six stages of excellence Whisky production always follows the same steps – the quality with which these steps are performed has a profound effect on the finished product.

Stage 1: Barley and malting Balvenie Mains provides some of the barley that is malted to convert starch into the sugar. The Balvenie has the last active floor maltings in the Scottish highlands.

Stage 2: Mashing Mashing takes place in a ‘mash tun’ to extract soluble sugars from the malted barley.

Stage 3: Fermentation Fermentation is the stage at which alcohol is first produced. Such are the similarities here with the beer-making process that it is also known as brewing.

Stage 4: Distillation Because the shape of Balvenie’s copper stills is so important in defining the flavours and character of the Balvenie, their upkeep is critical. This is why they are carefully maintained by a coppersmith of some fifty years’ experience.

Stage 5: Cooperage The cask is so important to the taste of the Balvenie that its preparation and maintenance are entrusted to their own coopers who are committed to preserving their time-honoured skills and traditions of their age-old craft.

Stage 6: Maturation The new-make spirit is filled into the oak casks in which it will mature for many years. Maturation has a profound influence upon the taste of the single malt, not just because of the type of cask used, but also because of the temperature changes in the warehouses and the cool highland climate beyond.

else, which means weathering some of the extreme temperatures that we get here.”

David Stewart claims to have nosed more than 400,000 casks during his career. “To give you an idea, just to create a single batch of the Balvenie Signature, I’d be looking at nosing around 300 casks and probably on average 30 whisky samples each day.”

Tradition

While all the whiskys he has created are special to him, he feels most proud of the Balvenie PortWood. “Having spent a long time working with sherry casks, my feeling was that port might enhance our maturing whisky well and the final product is one I’m exceptionally proud of,” he explains with great modesty, as this creation has earned him no fewer than 53 awards.

This master craftsmanship and love of tradition is reminiscent of Scabal’s Fabrics Designer Michael Day, who is also one of a rare breed able to bring masterpieces from the best natural ingredients. Here there is no malt, of course, but rather the finest natural fibres, which he has selected, blended and worked for 36 years to produce unique, inimitable fabrics. Like whisky connoisseurs, fabric artists know their craft at first glance.

To go here is to be immersed in Old Ireland, with its authentic decor and atmosphere, and its discreet luxury. Excellent local cuisine is served here, particularly the fruits of the sea caught in nearby Donegal Bay, such as oysters, fresh crab meat and lobster.

Downtown is also very pleasant – several boutiques offer the famous Irish tweed, and of course the typical Irish caps, most of which are produced in the local ‘Magee of Donegal’ plant, which was founded in 1866.

Mr. Style does not feel like a stranger in the heart of this rugged, natural landscape. He loves the strong wind that whistles through the sweeping heather. He takes several hours to enjoy a walk along the rugged shores of the Atlantic, witnessing the spectacle of waves crashing against the huge cliff of Slieve League, at the western tip of Donegal. Some believe that it is the highest cliff in Europe, others say it is the second highest, but what is certain is that it rises to more than 600 metres at its peak – the view is breathtaking, and here Mr. Style feels the full force The Donegal effect Much further to the west, in Kilcar, the of the natural elements.

The ‘Donegal effect’ consists of a base mixture of up to six individual colours, and contrasting fleck-solid dotted along the yarn. The skill and craft of producing the tweed lies in the ability to attach the fleck while keeping its solid contrasting features intact.

Irish village life

Irish tradition and spirit also abound in Lough Eske Castle, which is to be found a dozen miles north-east of Donegal.

This luxury castle hotel and spa sits within a forest, hugging the shores of Lough Eske, with the Blue Stack Mountains in the background. This imposing Tudor baronial castle traces its roots back to the late 15th century and the O’Donnell family, which founded Donegal. Beyond its facade, the hotel is an 19

The design and decor are elegant, with an inviting lobby featuring imposing stone floors and oak staircase, yet the mood is surprisingly easygoing – from its impressive sculptures in the courtyard fountain to the diverse abundance of outdoor pursuits, the hotel celebrates the pastoral charms of Irish village life.

The mountainous landscape of Donegal also lends itself to more physical sports such as climbing, hill-walking and rock traversing, on trails such as Poisoned Glen or Inishowen Peninsula. There is also surfing to be enjoyed on the Atlantic coast, especially in Bundoran and Rossnowlagh. The county of Donegal has preserved the values and heritage of Ireland – you will discover a multitude of gems, which are either gifts from nature or the result of centuries of traditional knowledge.

How to get there County Donegal is located in the northwest of Ireland, around three hours’ drive from Dublin and two from Belfast. The county also has its own airport, Donegal Airport, which is very well connected to Dublin and Glasgow. A codeshare agreement with Loganair provides links to London Heathrow, with connecting daily services from Dublin. Being a local airport, it is advisable to reserve a taxi or rental car in advance.

M r. Style : H is Tailor

My Tailor is... Irish Mr. Style is particularly fond of Donegal tweed. It is to Donegal’s neighbouring county of Sligo that Mr. Style goes to meet his tailor. Over three generations and almost 120 years, Joseph Martin has been the quintessential representation of bespoke tailoring in Ireland.

By Joanna Pays

Joseph Martin, Tailor

I

n the magical landscape of the northwest of Ireland lies the town of Sligo, renowned for the excellence of its traditional craftsmen, such as Joseph Martin, bespoke tailor. The tradition of tailoring in Joseph’s family dates back several generations - but it was his grandfather, also Joseph Martin, who set up the family’s first tailor’s shop in 1895. His son, Joseph Henry, grew the reputation of the business, opening the current premises in Sligo and a fitting room in Dublin.

Joseph Martin was destined for tailoring. From an early age in his father’s workshop he would be given simple tasks with remnants of fabric and tailor’s chalk. Bespoke tailoring apprenticeships in Italy and London were followed by studies in fashion design in Belfast. He then returned to his native town of Sligo to work alongside his father - who cut his last suit at the age of 90. “The best advice he gave was ‘always use the finest fabric, recruit and train the best staff and through hands-on quality control ensure the best finish.”

“I live and work in an area of myth and legend that has inspired poet and artist” says Martin. “Looking north I can see the “We may be in a remote location but we mist shrouded hills of Donegal where, for are a team of highly skilled people. The generations, tweed has been woven that quality of our tailoring is equal to the best reflects the colours of land and sea.” Our worldwide. My passion for the craft is fed location means that our overheads are by the tremendous satisfaction I get from lower therefore we can deliver the high- making a customer look and feel good, in any situation.” est quality at a very competitive price.

Traditional and contemporary designs

Joseph Martin appreciates fine quality British fabrics, such as Scabal’s Triple A, a blend of Super 120’s wool and cashmere mix. “While luxurious to the touch it has an underlying strength and excellent crease recovery, making it ideal for both business and travel. I particularly like the broad scope of the Triple A range; with its traditional and contemporary fabric designs it suits any personality, from the conservative to the more flamboyant customer who wishes to make a personal statement in the way they dress. Among my first choice for relaxation, naturally, would be Donegal tweed or Loch Fyne jacketings teamed with vibrant Scabal corduroys.”

Besides weekly visits to his Dublin fitting room, Joseph often travels to meet customers in Paris, London

‘My passion for the craft is fed by the tremendous satisfaction I get from making a customer look and feel good, in any situation’ Joseph Martin, Tailor

Joseph Martin’s workshop

and Luxembourg. As result of client recommendations, his international business is growing. “Kieran Thompson, owner of Newport House, was complimented on his tailor by a guest from Luxembourg,” says Martin. “Through Kieran’s recommendation I have gained a large customer base in Luxembourg whom I visit regularly for fittings. A good tailor should minimize the number of fittings needed, if they measure and cut accurately and in particular assess the client in terms of his self-image. My suits are normally perfect by the second fitting -but of course more fittings are done if required.”

Martin has a cross section of clients, from international industrialists and public figures to musicians and writers.

All are extremely elegant gentlemen who are as relaxed and confident in the business world or in public life,

as on a country estate or socialising.

They value their appearance on every occasion and appreciate beautifully tailored clothes made from the finest fabrics.

James Hamilton, 5th Duke of Abercorn epitomizes the style of Joseph Martin’s clients. He sits in the House of Lords, is a business director, and is the owner of Barons Court sporting estate. “The Duke has portrayed me to his friends as the ‘finest representative of bespoke tailoring in Ireland,” says Martin. “Tailoring for the Duke brings me to Barons Court quite often, where my fishing friend George and I breakfast with the Duke and Duchess.

After breakfast I do fittings of the Duke’s suits in the library and then spend the day salmon fishing on the Barons Court fishery on the beautiful river Mourne. Going home with a wild Atlantic salmon makes it a wonderful day.”

策略先生：他 的 敞 篷 跑 车

保时捷918 Spyder： 混合动力跑车 策略先生在他二十多岁就得到这个昵称并非偶然，他认为只有蠢人才会把钱存进银行。他倾向于 风险投资，或是购买一部具有升值能力的顶级轿车。保时捷就是满足他要求的顶级品牌之一。 策略先生在2013年初得知这款保时捷918 Spyder（著名的保时捷公司生产的第一辆混合动力 跑车）已经上市，这令他兴奋不已。 作者：Anja Van Der Borght

于最新原型车还在测试中， 暂时还不能真正驾驶这辆保 时捷918 Spyder，但策略先 生已经预订这款动力澎湃且 效率极高的混合动力跑车。 跑车特性 保时捷918 Spyder

保时捷918 Spyder的运动性能以多种方 式显露无遗。例如，该车融入保时捷独 有的四轮驱动理念，得益于保时捷深厚 的赛道经验，尤其是911 GT3 R Hybrid 应用的卓越技术。内燃发动机和电动机 为后轮驱动提供动力，另一个电动机则 为前轮提供动力。动力系统可独立控制 前轮驱动，从而确保高速过弯性能。只 要想到这些，策略先生都会异常兴奋。

源自604马力（450千瓦）的4.6升排量 V8引擎，转速高达9,150转／分钟。该 车还配备有两个动力分别为154马力 （115千瓦）和127马力（95千瓦）电动 机。PDK七速双离合变速箱将动力传输 到后轴。 打破纪录

迈凯轮12C Spider：《化身博士 （Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde）》 1998年，最后一辆迈凯轮F1赛车在其工厂下线，如今，迈凯轮生产“量产汽车”的时代再次到 来。如你认为自1966年以来只有迈凯轮和法拉利曾参加每一个F1赛季，实在是大错特错。策略 先生认为，任何具有丰富经验的品牌，都有能力生产出梦幻般的超级跑车。 作者：Anja Van Der Borght

策略先生：他 的 办 公 室

现代简约

策略先生钟情于简约现代的风格，建筑也不例外。或许正因如此，他才在伦敦、法兰克福和北京 三地均有办公室，且三处建筑皆出自现代建筑设计大师之手。 作者：JP Talbot

大著名设计师Renzo Piano、Norman Foster和Rem Koolhaas之间 有不少想通之处。他们曾一起合作设计诸多世界知名建筑，包括 博物馆、机场、体育场、大使馆、剧院、写字楼、船舶及室内设 计，Foster甚至曾参与航天飞机的设计。这三位设计师堪称建筑 界的男高音，凭借超凡创意、远见和创造力，在世界各地赢得了一 系列的奖项，包括著名的普利兹克建筑奖，该奖项旨在嘉奖建筑设计领域的职业成 就。Piano、Foster和Koolhaas陆续在1998年、1999年和2000年分别获得至高奖项， 该奖项被誉为建筑界的诺贝尔奖。让我们一起进入他们的世界……

Norman Foster

法兰克福商业银行大厦，德国

欧洲金融业的象征 在Norman Foster的所有成就中，策略 先生最欣赏法兰克福商业银行大厦。这 里于1997年落成，曾是欧盟最高的摩天 大楼，并很快成为法兰克福和欧洲金融 业的象征。这座53层高的建筑，曾经是 世界上第一幢绿色办公写字楼，较之相 同体积的建筑，其能源消耗节省50%，这 都得益于外墙的自然通风以及自然光的 开发利用。

Sir Norman Foster1935年出生于曼彻斯特， 与Piano一样，他亦是高科技建筑设计领域 的大师。自曼彻斯特大学和耶鲁大学毕业 后，他在60年代与Richard Rogers以及各自 的妻子共同创立了第一间工作室。60年代 末，该公司解散，Rogers与Renzo Piano合 作，Norman Foster创立Foster + Partners， 如今，该公司在世界各地拥有超过500名员 工。Foster的团队现在每年都会负责数十 个项目。自创建以来，该公司设计建造了 商业银行大厦由Foster + Partners建筑 众多知名度颇高的建筑，包括大英博物馆、 师事务所设计，其中多个四层高的花园， 温布利球场和圣玛丽埃克斯30号，以及位 为中庭提供源源不断的新鲜空气。正因 于法国的世界最高公路大桥--米约高架桥。 如此，这拥有冬天花园环绕的办公区就 这里提及的只是其中少部分建筑成就，因 成了视觉和社交的聚集点。从外部观看， 为Norman Foster的杰作遍布世界各地！ 这些空中花园令人误以为这是幢四层建 筑。从社交方面考虑，这里犹如办公室 除大型建筑项目，他的公司亦参与家具 聚集的村落，可以在此与同事交谈，或 和室内设计项目，比如，他在2007年与 Philippe Starck和Richard Branson共 在工作之余放松片刻。根据每个花园的 方向，园内的植物分别来自：北美洲、 同参与了Virgin Galactic的太空船计划 （参见第62页）。 亚洲或是地中海地区。 58

Rem Koolhaas

中央电视台总部大楼

电视大楼的杰作 在地球的另一端，策略先生正置身自己 的另一处办公室，这是荷兰建筑师Rem Koolhaas最惊人的建筑作品。这座办公 楼位于中国北京，其设计师颠覆摩天大 楼最求极限高度的传统。OMA建筑师事务 所Rem Koolhaas和Ole Scheeren放弃二 维的建筑风格，采用全三维的设计方法。 拔地而起的中央电视台主楼，由两座相 互倾斜，最终垂直合并的塔楼组成，其 悬臂结构共长75米。建筑结构的受力分 配在外观上得到充分体现：网状的钢架 结构采用三角形设计，摒弃传统的菱形 结构，承重较高的区域钢架结构密度较 高，承重较低的区域密度较低。中央电 视台总部大楼内部格局设计巧妙，方便 公众参观：公用环路引领游客通过小径 游览整座大楼，这里展示日常的工作室 情况以及中央电视台历史，在悬臂结构 的边缘，游客可欣赏中央商务区、紫禁 城和北京全貌。

OMA的创始人Rem Koolhaas出生于1944 年。起初，他主要在欧洲工作，特别是 他的出生地荷兰。在1975年，他创立了 Metropolitan Architecture（OMA）， 几个成功的项目使他声名大噪，包括海牙 国会扩建工程、爱尔兰总统的府邸以及巴 黎的维耶特公园。Koolhaas 的诸多设计 作品位于美国，比如西雅图中央图书馆、 拉斯维加斯的古根海姆博物馆以及位于 纽约和洛杉矶的普拉达旗舰店。 这位建筑大师同时还是位建筑理论 家。他擅长彰显建筑的极至美感和超凡 张力，给城市规划注入超凡脱俗的元 素。Koolhaas 在商业化对城市变化的影 响中亦发挥着关键作用，他与哈佛大学 的学生们一起，开展卓越的人类学工作。
