with a new editorial team launches the series "Reports of living" following the everyday situations and the thoughts of Guadalupe Acedo, caretaker and domestic lady at the celebratred house. In Italian but there is always Babelfish
in regards the bourdeaux house, i remember reading that it is left empty, the husband had died and the rest of the family decided to live elsewhere.
even with babelfish i couldnt really get what they were saying.
strange to consider this house left empty - but then - it was highly crafted for a situation -and that has changed.
the latest oma el croquis shows that after the husband's death, the elevator library furniture (desk, chair) is replaced with a giant pillow, and a beautiful lap pool is installed on the grounds..
i can sort of make out the italian with my spanish... the platform thing is sort of funny, guadalupe refuses to use it and the reporters don't understand why until they get stuck on it, then they realize: questa macchina di alta tecnologia è di una sensibilità estrema e di un umore assai lunatico.
this machine of high technology has an extreme sensibility and a humour that borders on the lunatic.
we were trying to figure out what was goin on there after picking up the lastest croquis as well. the big blue pillow thing suggests the moving platform became a bed, but not sure...
i was more surprised by how poorly built the home was. for such an expensive house they sure were not getting money's worth with builders... remains an iconic home though

if you are auditioning for the broken-english-speaking-cousin part for the "perfect strangers" remake, babelfish is a good resource.

The slideshow is worth seeing - I love seeing architecture with some domestic junk in it! (such as the ironing board, for example.)
