LIVING ARCHITECTURES (KOOLHAAS HOUSELIFE (2008))

This great series from Bêka and Lemoine aims to provide a counterpoint to the standard media depiction of architecture as a finished, static, idealised object. The unconventional documentaries offer a more subjective experience of some well known buildings/spaces, enabling us to view them through the eyes of a real occupant immersed in their daily routine. This more spontaneous and intimate picture exposes charms and fallibilities unseen in editorial photographs, and reminds us of the importance of conceiving buildings that can evolve, adapt, and bring joy to all those who interact with them.

Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.
