The first publication in the Solution series of books that will present
visionary projects in different countries goes to Germany. The Great
Pyramid is the brainchild of writer Ingo Niermann, who envisioned
using a derelict site in eastern German to build a democratic tomb for
people from all ethnic, ethical, and religious backgrounds - which
would function as a tourist attraction and spark an economic
revitalization for the financially struggling region. Includes
contributions by Rem Koolhaas, Christian Kracht, and Chus Martinez
and projects by Atelier Bow-Wow (Tokyo), Fake/ Ai Weiwei (Beijing),
Nikolaus Hirsch/Wolfgang Lorch/Markus Miessen (Frankfurt am Main),
and MADA s.p.a.m. (Shanghai).
