Rem Koolhaas: A Kind of Architect
An engaging portrait of the visionary Dutch architect, taking us to the very heart of his inspiration. A visually inventive and thought-provoking portrait of the man, whose 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 his forward-thinking theories about architecture and urban living. Equally celebrated as a writer and social commentator, his 1978 publication 'Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan' is regarded as a seminal text on modern society.
