For the files: A thousand individuals from about 50 countries have made an unbinding reservation for a stone in The Great Pyramid as of yesterday. This number is growing by one or two dozens a day at the time. Thank you all!

We took our video offline. Please refer instead to Fred Plassmann´s nicely shot and edited clip at architekturclips.de – it´s somewhat shorter but you´ll get a good idea of the presentation. In there also some stills from the Great Pyramid documentary.

It´s been quite a night..

The Great Pyramid made it into the BBC World Service TV news. With due hesitation the BBC notes the fact that nothing is being built yet but luckily avoided the „German pyramid“ punch unlike in last September´s radio coverage. We´re making some headway it seems..

Sorry, we´re to tired to write a decent Gala post after Stefan, Alex and I relaunched the website. Thanks to everybody who was there, promise to do a bunch of things much better next time and also promise to fix several voids and aesthetically challenging features of the new site very, very soon.

Please check the post in Momus´ blog where you´ll find a video clip of his fascinating performance, a couple of images from the Gala and some background on ..

The Great Pyramid is on Facebook now. Please feel free to become a „fan“ of the project – that´s how FB likes to call becoming friends with non-people entities. Your commitment and visible support is greatly appreciated.

You might be wondering what we do and how the Great Pyramid fares. So: We´re doing quite well actually. Over the last couple of weeks new colleagues have joined the Great Pyramid team who bring in more than twenty years experience in the real estate and internet industry. Together we have fixed a few shortcomings of the original concept concerning location, product portfolio and ..

„We are Pharao“ – with „we“ as in „for all of us“ – is the front-page story in today´s FTD weekend supplement written by Benjamin Pruefer. It´s quite nice so you might want to read it. Not online yet – but we will post a link if the piece turns up in the internet.
EDIT: Here´s the link and here the PDF to keep it from disappearing behind some paywall.

We have just uploaded the first photos from last Friday´s roadshow in Streetz (Rosslau), all taken by Christian von Werner. Here´s our first flickr set. There´s more coming up.

To find a suitable location for the Great Pyramid might seem difficult but in fact technically it is not. In a first stage we just considered traffic connections. The location has to be no more than 30 km from a freeway, a major railway line and inland waterway transportation. The latter might seem odd but when the Great Pyramid is being built, thousands of tons of cement and gravel have to be delivered every months. Road haulage would not be a ecologically as well as economically viable choice for these …
