# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Remment Lucas Koolhaas was born in the Netherlands on 17 November 1944. He wrote Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan, a book that reframed the city's density as intentional delirium rather than accident. His work gets filed under deconstructivism, though opinion splits on whether he's a generational thinker about urbanism or a self-important iconoclast. The Pritzker Prize came in 2000. Time named him one of the world's most influential people in 2008, and the American Philosophical Society elected him in 2014. He teaches at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, holding the title Professor in Practice of Architecture and Urban Design.
