Five years ago this week, Zaha Hadid unveiled designs for a private house with a lookout tower in a forest near Moscow and OMA were commissioned to design a 36-storey residential tower in Singapore.
The whole Dezeen team was on holiday (there were fewer of us back then) so we featured projects from the first book by Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, Twenty-First Century Design, including Marcel Wanders' Airborne Snotty Vases, and the Millau Viaduct by Foster & Partners.
