'Architecture is often viewed from the outside, as an inanimate object represented in still imagery', with this sentence begins Tomas Koolhaas explaining the documentary he has been realizing since already three years around the figure of his father, Rem Koolhaas, although not from a standpoint of filial admiration, but from the human perspective that all architecture should have. The film intends to be more revealing than the generic poster image, and more evocative than the intellectual reality of architectural renderings. Interesting.
We all know the architect, but can we say we know its architecture beyond its iconicity? The aim of this documentary is to explore and recognize the extensive production of the Dutch architect, winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2000, at the hand of its inhabitants, the people who walk through it daily, providing a rare insight within the world of architectural videos. Lets not forget that Rem Koolhaas already starred, or rather his architecture did, in "Koolhaas Houselife" a successful and atypical mini documentary directed by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine in which we walked with Guadalupe through the Bordeaux House.
Here you have a small advance, to whet your appetite. Enjoy!
