Sunday Telegraph Millions of people will buy these bricks? BBC World Service The idea could be read as a democratization of megalomania. Süddeutsche Zeitung Mega-Pyramid set to save Germany. ORF Solution 9: The Great Pyramid is the first in the forthcoming Solution series where authors will be asked to develop an abundance of compact and original ideas for other countries and regions, contradicting the widely held assumption that, after the end of socialism, human advancement is only possible technologically or requires a yet-to-be-established world order. This book also documents the architectural proposals for the Great Pyramid, selected by a jury composed of Rem Koolhaas, Omar Akbar, Stefano Boeri, and Miuccia Prada. It also contains critical texts and voices from the press on this exceptional project. Design by Z.A.K.
