That Ordos museum is cool but I can't see that sort of surface existing in Chicago, the requirements for handrails, anti-skate, anti-vandalism, etc would just kill the purity of that stone surface.
Likewise, Studio Gang's grass-paved tailgate plaza is a neat idea, but tailgating for a fall/winter sport necessarily involves snow removal. I don't know how you make grasspave work with salt and plows.
