What to do if you're one of the richest woman in Japan and own a few art pieces that are too big for your house? Easy: you buy a mountain near Kyoto and ask I. M. Pei to build you a 45,000 square meter building ! The roof should of course be a large glass & steel construction, while the walls and floors have to be made of the same warm beige-coloured limestone from France that Pei used for the reception hall of the Louvre... regardless of the time it will take to build it (6 years) or how much it will cost ($215 million).
