“The documentary series by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine represents the “architectural masterpieces” of some of the world's most famous architects in their everyday use. The movies are humorous in the way they show another point of view on the often idealized architectural object. The first movie of the series, Koolhaas Houselife, is especially entertaining to me. We follow the cleaning lady of Koolhaas's Maison Bordeaux, Guadalupe, as she does her daily chores, carrying a vacuum cleaner around the house, complaining, and sometimes mocking the architect. I find these films strong because they break the image of the architect as the singular author, and instead explore the building after occupation, suggesting that the users also continuously make and remake the space.”
