TAPESTRY DESIGN PRIZE FOR ARCHITECTS
BRIEF
That’s from the Wikipedia article on Étienne-Louis Boullée. Those around me, my staff, friends and sycophants, call me a visionary to my face and a megalomaniac to each other. Megalomaniacs have, as their biological brief, a desire to do things that can’t be done. So in Pharos, we brought some masters of caprice together. I’d like to put them in a room together.
Until Nonda and his mates started talking about Boullée I’d never heard of him. We have now built a wing of Mona called Pharos, and parts of that wing are both a paean to, and in thrall of, Boullée’s grandiose Cenotaph for Isaac Newton.
