It’s great to see that Rem Koolhaas’s son, Tomas Koolhaas, still has a bounce in his step when he thinks about his father. This teaser was just released for REM, his second documentary about his father, and it flies through the architectural heavyweight's Casa De Musica by way of parkour. Clearly, that’s the hip contemporary way of bringing the “human back into architectural representation,” as BIG has already shown us with its My Playground video. As this is not his first cinematic exploration of his father’s work, Tomas Koolhaas wants to make sure that you know he isn’t turning this into another My Architect (the moving film on Louis Kahn's work by his son). "REM is not a sentimental exploration of the relationship between father and son," explains Tomas on his website, "but instead the exploration of what architecture means to those who inhabit it, and to those who create it.” And who better to interview for the film than collaborator and lyrical architecture critic Kanye West?
