Mongolia gets cold in winter, doesn’t it?

c’mon.. they’ve understood that ordos is really about hedonism and designed the perfect enclosure for it.. a sense of humour they’ve got

oh hey and people can hate all they want – as if having or not having “amazing” (whatever that is) designs would somehow modify your entitlement to an opinion? is that what you’re saying?

I have seen this published a few times and I think its great, really simple concept for an expresive volume in a harsh cold climate that creates an interior that can be used in the winter. Also having been in monglia and china I think alot of the other Architects in Ordos who rely on details will be upset when their projects are built, its a really bad provincial building standard. It seems these guys built that into their ideas when they designed this, even if built badly it should still look amazing

To all the Haters… where are your amazing designs? Nowhere? thought so…

That is two bag ugly. You’d need to put a bag over your own head in case the bag you’d put over the building to obscure it ripped and blew off.

It seems to be a Shoppingmall. The question about the concept……???

Just the sun glare from the mirrored exterior cladding or “skin” (to be hip), would kill all yak in central asia! In fact it would melt all us white folks or transport those in proximity to distant planets.

wow, I’d be ashamed to have that built.
ORDOS is setting architecture back years….*sigh*

I actually think they create a quite interesting interior space with a very simple principal. Not bad at all, compared to some of the other ORDOS designs…

There was a similar concept for a modular costal resort on this site not too long ago.

that third rendering looks like it’s inside a mall with a bunch of escalators.
