The Great Pyramid – A Monument for all of us

The Egyptian pyramids were built for eternity but only for one single person. The new Pyramids we suggest, are open to every individual. As monumental as they are affordable, they serve as a tomb or memorial for those of all nationalities and religions: A MONUMENT FOR ALL OF US

REASON Many of us wish, in the 21st century we may be buried and remembered in a more contemporary fashion. A straightforward proposal.

RESPONSES Since the Great Pyramid project launched in 2006, it received expansive press coverage and found prominent supporters.

RESERVATIONS More than 1,500 people from about 80 countries made unbinding reservations for a Pyramid stone. We will re-open the list as soon as we have an actual product.

ROADMAP A fascinating idea is one thing, realization is another, more demanding matter. How do we plan to make The Great Pyramid a reality?

HISTORY We piloted the Great Pyramid, made a book, became part of the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale, etc. A look back on four exciting years.

BLOG The project had been on hiatus for more than a year. Now, there will be regular news and updates again, you may wish to follow.

This little video with various press blurbs from 2007 was made to be screened at the Great Pyramid Gala event in Berlin last year.

We are indebted to Phillip Sollmann, who for this occasion composed "Pyramid Drift" and Ingo Niermann who curated a good part of the quite unique musical program. Dial Rec. has meanwhile published a Great Pyramid Gala 12" that also contains a previously unreleased version of Momus´s "What will death be like?".

When we concluded the first stage of the project, we made a little book with Sternberg Press, that is available internationally through all the local Amazon sites and good bookstores.

In there, all the basic ideas are explained, the projects from our 2007 architecture contest are introduced, the more than one thousand supporters who publicly made an unbinding reservation for a Pyramid stone by March 2008 are listed, plus more.
