Summary:
This volume documents MVRDV`s project for the competition for the Musee des Arts et Civilisations in Paris, and includes all aspects of the design: visual as well as written. This book asks such urgent design questions as the meaning of a museum for non-Western art at a time when worldwide mobility is making the ideas of "Western" and "non-Western" meaningless. How does one represent authenticity in this context? Designed by MVRDV, this book allows the reader inside the design process to the original ideas conceived and problems faced by an architect.

Summary:
In 1996-97, Harvard's graduate students studied China's Pearl River Delta (PRD), a cluster of five cities with a population of twelve million that will probably reach thirty-six million by the year 2020. The establishment in the PRD of Special Economic Zones - "laboratories for the contained unleashing of capitalism" - has hastened an unprecedented experiment in urbanization on an astonishingly large scale. "Great Leap Forward" contains essays that explore, in a theoretical and statistical context, the results of this rapid modernization, which has produced an entirely new urban substance.
