Rarely has an architect caused as much sensation
outside of the architecture community as Rem
Koolhaas. His outstanding creations such as the
Dutch Embassy in Berlin, the Seattle Library, the
Casa da Musica concert hall in Porto, and the
Guggenheim Heritage Museum in Las Vegas are
working examples of the Dutchman’s visionary
theories about architecture and urban society.
Koolhaas’ work is as much about ideas as it is
about constructing buildings and he is equally
celebrated as a writer and social commentator. His
1978 publication Delirious New York: A Retroactive
Manifesto for Manhattan is heralded as a seminal
text on modern society. For Koolhaas, what is
essential is not to create individual masterpieces,
but to provoke and excite through the wide range
of his activities.
Rem Koolhaas - A Kind Of Architect is an engaging
portrait of a visionary man, which takes us to the
heart of his ideas. The filmmakers have made a
visually inventive, thought provoking portrait of
the architect, prompting Rem Koolhaas to state
“it’s the only film about me that I have liked.”
