13:100 | Thirteen New York Architects Design for Ordos
In fall 2009, the Architectural League presented an exhibition of designs by the thirteen New York architects participating in the Ordos 100, a residential development proposed for the city of
Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China in which one hundred emerging architects from
around the world were invited to design a nearly 11,000 square foot
villa on lots ranging from a quarter to a half acre. With a master plan
by artist Ai Weiwei and architect selection by Herzog & de Meuron,
the Ordos 100 challenges conventional ideas about urban design,
placemaking, and context. Criticized by some for its scale and
environmental impact, applauded by others as a form of art practice,
Ordos underscores and intensifies the complexities of contemporary
architectural practice. The exhibition explored the unique process of
the undertaking and provoked a conversation about the role that design
played in the development.
