CAFx25: Koolhaas Houselife

Copenhagen Architecture Biennial has invited Lars Jensen, City Architect of Copenhagen, to select a favourite film for the inaugural edition of the biennial. Jensen will introduce the film.

Koolhaas Houselife portrays one of the masterpieces of contemporary architecture: the
House in Bordeaux, designed by Rem Koolhaas / OMA in 1998. The film lets the viewer enter into the daily intimacy of the house through the stories and daily chores of Guadalupe Acedo, the housekeeper, and the other people looking after the building. As we follow and interact with Guadalupe, an unusual and unpredictable look at the spaces and structure of the building opens up.

“Heartfelt, thought-provoking and hilariously funny” New York Times.
