When computer games go live

Anyone who is into architecture has likely already heard of MInsuk Cho, the unspeakably bizarre and wonderful architect behind Mass Studies, the Korean-based firm behind such awesomeness as the ring dome in New York, Hong Kong and Milan, and my personal favorite, Seoul’s Ann Demeulemeester shop.  

But cooler than checking out what Minsuk Cho has achieved is to take a long hard look at what he dreams of.  Because when you can build a shop that is walled inside and out with grass, what is it that even you believe can’t happen for another 18 years?

My family would have an awesomely fun time with it. Of course it would end with everyone ganging up on me and holding me down while my brother shot me with said Nerf gun at point blank range while I laughed and squealed and begged for him to stop. But it would totally rock!
