The Ordos 100 development will collect architecture. Villa 62 will collect traces of the extreme weather changes of the desert. The outside of the villa can best be described as a continuous shelving system designed to collect changing seasonal elements: snow, sand, rain, and moss. The motivation here is to challenge architecture as something separate from nature. Villa 62 is shaped like a contoured hilltop. The hills in Inner Mongolia are traditionally contoured to collect and preserve groundwater and prevent its dispersion into the desert. Similarly, our villa is traversed by multiple paths and ways of going up, down, or around. Rainwater is partially managed by the paths as the house blends down into a landscaped garden. Two main promenades, one outside and one inside, define the architecture of the villa. The outside promenade is an ample and open path along the landscaped areas all the way to the top of the building. One can experience the house without entering it, be “inside” while outside. The dual shape of Villa 62 stems from the interplay and intertwining of its public and private areas. Because of its sculptural silhouette, Villa 62 is intended to be recognizable in extreme weather and reduced light conditions. Coal and milk are Ordos’s two most important products. Wrapped in copper, Villa 62 will slowly change in from orange to green, then eventually black, the color of coal. Its interiors will remain milky white.Please check www.thenao.net/projectcredits.htm for project credits.
