Point of Origin – Building a House in Austria

  • PRINCIPLES Square - Cathedral Square Cathedral Avenue Perth, WA, 6000 Australia (map)

Presented by OMA + UniFor

Join us at PRINCIPLES Square for the Public Screening of "Point of Origin" by Frans Parthesius.

About the Film:

An international tech entrepreneur purchases an impossibly narrow piece of steep mountain slope in Austria, where he grew up. The building site will only allow for a 4-meter-wide house.

This challenge sparks the interest of well-known architect and founding partner of OMA Rem Koolhaas, but Rem has not built a private house since his acclaimed House in Bordeaux over 20 years ago.

The building process was captured by photographer and filmmaker Frans Parthesius, using primarily a simple static security camera.

Slowly, the house reveals itself as the film reveals clues about Koolhaas's process.
