Ai Weiwei was involved in the conception of the famous Bird’s Nest Stadium, built for the Olimpics in Beijing. Maintaing the partnership with the same two Swiss architects, Herzog & de Meuron, Ai Weiwei was assigned a task: to build a city inside the desert of Mongolia. That is how the Ordos 100 project was born and in it’s implementation 100 architects from 27 countries were invited to design a villa with 1000 square meters. In this film we keep up with three periods of visits from the architects to the construction area. It is fascinating to watch how they dazzle and get involved in this megalomaniac project and how Ai Weiwei keeps his bonhomie even when they have to deal with childish organization flaws from official entities promoting the project.
