Skyscraper collectives, tower agglomerations, bundles, clusters, and twins; waterfront developments, mixed-use developments, high-rise housing developments, housing marinas and luxury condominiums; airport hubs, corporate office enclaves, industrial parks, hotel complexes, conference, commercial, and financial centres; satellite cities, theme parks, thematic cities, branded cities, new central districts, gated communities: what is the potential latent in extraordinarily large urban typologies, currently restricted by the typological tradition of urbanism and the segregation of architectural domains?

​

Neokoolhisms loosens, with the candid force of a blunt force of an artistic invention, the untied straitjacket of redeeming urbanism by the skyscraper through sheer congestion. Neokoolhisms boosts the protocols of extraordinarily large developments through a radically operative approach to the concepts introduced by Rem Koolhaas since Delirious New York, now reconfigured as operative concepts for the generation of territorial-scale post-anti-urban models.
