Richard Copans
Maison à Bordeax
Les Films d'Ici / Arc en rêve centre d'architecture à Bordeaux, France 1998, 20'

Rem Koolhaas completed a project of a house in Bordeaux. He dealt neither with a museum nor a school nor a prison, but rather with a house for the family L. While Koolhaas describes this house to us with words and designs, Richard Copans describes it with the words and images of his camera which conveys the discovery of this house as something extraordinary.

Richard Copans was born in 1947 and studied at IDHEC. He is the founder and coordinator of Films d'Aujourd'hui since 1984. In addition, he is a producer of full-length films as well as documentaries and a director of photography. Since 1992, he has edited with Stan Neumann, the series Architectures seen on the French-German channel Arte. Since 1998 he has worked on the series Les Mots de l'Architecte, that rather than presenting a personality or a monograph, instead renders the basic concepts of architecture in a manner more familiar to the public at large.
