Here's a great true story: In Inner Mongolia a developer named Cai Jiang, a true descendant of Genghis Khan, has made a fortune on China's recent building boom. Now he has decided to create a paradise in the middle of that inhospitable desert. As part of it, he has hired one hundred of the best young architects from around the world and said to them design a house. That's it-- no restrictions, no rules, just create a house that you think would fit into this terrain. He brought them all to the area for a look around, and then said you have carte blanche to design a single family dwelling. Whatever you come up with, I will build it. He then enlisted China's most revered artist, Ai Weiwei, to oversee the project and expects to have this part of his grand vision completely finished in three years.
