Koolhaas Houselife
Jul 21, 2013
(Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, France, 2008, 58 min)
The first film in the “Living Architectures” series, Koolhaas Houselife provides unusually intimate access to a masterpiece of contemporary architecture—the Rem Koolhaas-designed Maison à Bordeaux—by documenting housekeeper Guadalupe Acedo as she navigates its hydraulic lifts, sliding panels and minimal staircases. The film will be preceded by a sneak peak at the upcoming documentary REM, directed by the architect’s son, Tomas Koolhaus.
“Heartfelt, thought-provoking, and at times hilariously funny.” —Nicolai Ouroussoff, The New York Times
