about the book
This 2nd edition DVD and book presents us with an intimate, sensorial notion of what it is like to inhabit Koolhaas' House in Bordeaux. Told through a series of narratives, the book leaves us with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the realities of high-profile architecture; maintenance, circulation and accessibility concerns are extensively examined. Houselife is both a portrait of a building as well as a vivid visual diary.
