Film Screening

A chance to watch Koolhaas Houselife, followed by a drinks reception.

In 1998 the Dutch Architect and alumnus of the Architectural Association, Rem Koolhaas, was commissioned to design Maison à Bordeaux, a contemporary house suited to the needs of the client, a wheelchair user.

Koolhaas Houselife is the first project in the “Living Architectures” series, which unlike most movies about architecture, focusses 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 some icons of contemporary architecture. Koolhaas Houselife tells the story of this house through the daily chores of Guadalupe Acedo, the housekeeper, and the other people who look after the building.

Rem Koolhaas graduated from the Architectural Association in 1973, taught at the AA and founded OMA in 1975. Koolhaas Houselife also includes a short interview with the architect.
