ORDOS100 | site visit
Friday, June 27. Day 3 of the second phase of ORDOS100. The 36 architects that presented their proposals on the first day received their critiques. The others lounged in the hotel or went for a site visit. Mónica Carriço | movingcities joined the desert trip visiting the site with Inês Vieira da Silva and Miguel Vieira | SAMI Arquitectos (PT).
Ordos Project: parallel to the ORDOS100 website, there is the Ordos Project website which frames the larger context of the creative and cultural development of the site. There we can read:
In addition to the Art Museum & ORDOS100, the Ordos project comprises of many other initiatives such as the opera house, hotel, educational institutions and soon to be built over the three phases of planning and construction.
Two of these projects are finished, the Art Museum and the Artist Studios, while the Restaurant is currently under construction. Last March, it officially broke ground, and it’s expected to be completed by October this year.
