Perioli Man Architects were consultants for
John Man's book, 'Xanadu', advising on and generating the CGI recreation of Kublai Khan's Pleasure Dome at Xanadu in Mongolia. This involved interpreting Marco Polo's first hand description of the dome (
'...a great palace...all of canes...') and working closely with John Man and structural engineer
Ben Godber, then of Expedition Engineering, to explore the possible construction details and techniques ultimately producing the complete form of the structure (
