Living Architectures
There’s an interesting exhibit, “Living Architectures,” going on now for those in NYC at the Storefront for Art & Architecture (conveniently across the street from La Esquina where you can get a taco after).
“Living Architectures” is a series of films that seeks to develop a way of looking at architecture which turns away from the current trend of idealizing the representation of our architectural heritage. The cult of perfect, disembodied forms entirely devoid of people, inevitably leads to a break-up between architecture and living space.”
For example, in Koolhaas, the P.O.V. follows the maid and window cleaners as they go about cleaning this sterile & automated home. Here’s the trailer from this one:
