ORDOS 100 is a development in Inner Mongolia that you might have heard of. It consist of one hundred 1000sqm villas designed by 100 hip architects in 100 days, selected by Herzog & de Meuron over a master plan developed and curated by Ai Wei Wei (FAKE Design).
If during modernism, architectural experimentation was practiced through large housing projects, we now find it in curated projects such at this, on countries with a raising -or at least before the crisis- economy.
The project was split into two-phases, of 28 and 72 houses respectively. In ArchDaily we are going to feature the projected villas each week, and hopefully we manage to document all #100. We have contacted several offices already, but if you are part of ORDOS 100 and we haven´t got in touch with you, please use the contact form.
We start with the villa by Alejandro Aravena (Chile). No project description, but you can understand some of the concept design from the sketches.
This villa is located in plot #32 of the ORDOS project.

delicious.
Well done lads! Nice project…
Очень интересный и необычный прект.
Sculptural forms & greatness – perfectly well
and I thought that the cold war as over, and those old army post will be teared down, not rebuilt.
Sorry, but no style, no beauty, no sustainbility and no architecture but experiencing in a native and yet unspoiled country, adding to those reliquias left after the passing of those comunist black days
Brilliant!

download the model and have a better look around.. get it from google’s 3d warehouse page
this project is so well executed. the plans and sections are exquisite.
y que ningun proyecto tiene parqueaderos o que?
some authorship infringement- Office dA/ Levwerenz (excuse spelling)brickwork,etc; but still has great qualities and is a great example of this design strategy.
Its quite mystical and thorough esp for 100 days.
The real question is: what is the budget and what kind of rich client wants to live in Inner Mongolia? Good ole Asian labor makes it discounted but seriously I want to know!
Also want to say that this is how architects should work- sketches, materials, 3 dimensions, and 1 idea.
Well done ArchDaily. Keep posting more sketches for the projects. Love them. Though I can understand they may be hard to obtain.
soy chileeno y opino q aravena es un genio,soy estudiante y me motiva mucho que un profesional tan joven tenga ese exito.
