S,M,L,XL presents a selection of the remarkable visionary design work produced by the Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.) and its acclaimed founder, Rem Koolhaas, in its first twenty years, along with a variety of insightful, often poetic writings. The inventive collaboration between Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau is a graphic overture that weaves together architectural projects, photos and sketches, diary excerpts, personal travelogues, fairy tales, and fables, as well as critical essays on contemporary architecture and society.
The book’s title is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. While Small and Medium address issues ranging from the domestic to the public, Large focuses on what Koolhaas calls “the architecture of Bigness.” Extra-Large features projects at the urban scale, along with the important essay “What Ever Happened to Urbanism?” and other studies of the contemporary city. Running throughout the book is a “dictionary” of an adventurous new Koolhaasian language — definitions, commentaries, and quotes from hundreds of literary, cultural, artistic, and architectural sources.

S’Links is a new gourmet hot dog place which opened down the street from my home a couple months ago. This Memphis Dog is from its first or second night of being officially opened.
It’s an 8" beef frank, with two bacon slices, a Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce, sliced green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. That’s all set into a custom bun made by the local Monrovia Bakery. It’s a good dog. The slightly obscene frank is nice and beefy, if a bit bigger than I’m used to (I think they’ve since slimmed it down a bit), and the toppings are all good. The natural casing provides an terrific snap. The bun is excellent in taste, though it’s size meant there was a lot of extra bread in the middle, and not so much on the ends. They’ve also since adjusted this so the bun is a bit longer and thinner.
It wasn’t perfect. I wished the cheese was melted. I wished there was more sauce on the dog. I wish there wasn’t so much bread left over. But all in all it was a good start for a new local restaurant and worth a return visit, or two. Hot dog, about .
