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 and the Casa da Música concert hall in Porto, are working examples of the Dutchman's visionary theories about architecture and urban society. A Kind of Architect is an engaging portrait of Koolhaas that takes us to the heart of his ideas. Directors Markus Heidingsfelder and Min Tesch have made a visually inventive, thought-provoking film about the architect, prompting Koolhaas to state, "It's the only film about me that I have liked."

In this hand-drawn short, a bird-like creature is drawn into an astral dimension rife with violence, vice, and vehicular homicide, rendered on black in electric lime greens and acid yellows. Animator James Duesing writes, "'Tugging the Worm' is an animation which is made up of 3500 drawings... the completed piece took approximately four years and a lot of Prismacolors to complete."
