Koolhaas Houselife (2008), heimildarmynd | Frumsýning á Íslandi

Koolhaas Houselife is a film on one of the masterpieces of contemporary architecture of recent year: The House in Bourdeaux designed in 1998 by Rem Koolhaas / OMA. Unlike most movies about architecture, this feature focuses less on explaining the building, its structure and its virtuosity than on letting the viewer enter into the invisible bubble of the daily intimacy af an architectural icon. This experiment presents a new way of looking at architecture and broadens the field of its representation. Like any house, the house in Bordeaux is in place of plurality with all its chaos, its wear and tear, and its changes. (58 min)
