"Architecture is a strange mixture of persistence and flux, an amalgamation of elements that have been around for over 5,000 years and others that were (re)invented yesterday. The fact that elements change independently, according to different cycles and economies, and for different reasons, turns building into a collage of smoothness and bricolage – a complexity revealed in its full extent only by looking under a microscope at its constituent parts... the elements."

In this Lecture Koolhas presented how he curated the 2014 Venice Biennale through the lens of the Elements of Architecture. The Lecture was attended by Zaha Hadid, along with AA students, members and staff.
