A group from Dessau, Germany has coordinated with Dutch architect Rem Koohaas for a competition to build a pyramid which would eventually grow more than twice as high and ten times as massive as the Great Pyramid at Giza.The Egyptian pyramids were built for eternity but only for one single person. This pyramid is open to every individual. Rather than hastily burying one another or allowing our ashes to be scattered, as a small stone in the pyramid we can remain part of our species’ constantly shifting and ever-expanding tableau.Personally I'm not a big fan of immortality. I'll take the scatter approach, thankyouverymuch. Let my legacy be in the minds of those I've affected through my actions, whether good or bad...
...and a pounding hangover from my wake.
That said, I am interested in the design competition, but more for the recognition in the here-and-now. Surely I can come up with a better rendering than that.
