A WELL-CULTNATED HOUSE

摘要

Designed as Villa 003 of the ORDOS100 project, the house addresses both the ecology of the Ordos plains of Inner Mongolia and the mass-media and architectural tourism that are part of the project's international character. The exhibitionist nature of ODROS100 (a new neighbourhood of a 100 villas designed by a 100 different architects from around the world) and the frontier attitude of the city of Ordos within China (often referred to as China's Texas) present a stage for exploring a new type of detached house that questions the traditional relationship between the natural and the built, and between privacy and publicity.
