-
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."
