European Union Flag of Mr. Rem Koolhaas


As the European Union expands it takes on new perspectives and identities - many of which are in conflict with each other. The man on the move, Rem Koolhaas, came up with this visualization, known as the 'barcode', to represent all the different shades of contemporary European flags. Simply put, I think it's aestethically pleasing, as did Austria, which used it for their logo for their presidency of the Council of the European Union.
