The most popular "Koolhaas HouseLife", a documentary in the artists’ Living Architectures series, is about a home designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.
Living Architectures, the filmmakers said, is a series of films that seeks to develop a way of looking at architecture that turns away from the current trend of idealizing the representation of our architectural heritage.
Through their films, Bêka and Lemoine demonstrate the vitality, fragility and vulnerable beauty of architecture as recounted and witnessed by people who actually live in, use or maintain the spaces they have selected.
Their films focus less on explaining the building, its structure and its technical details than on letting the viewer enter into the invisible bubble of the daily intimacy of contemporary architectural icons.
