Founder & Principle Partner Of MAD Architects
MAD Architects under Ma Yansong has made several projects that catch attention because they look unlike usual towers and glass boxes. He designed the Harbin Opera House, a building that looks like it grew from a snowy plain. He was also chosen to design the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a high-profile cultural project in the United States, which made him one of the first Chinese architects picked for such a big overseas museum. Other well-known works include the Ordos Museum and Chaoyang Park Plaza, all of which show his flowing lines and landscape-like forms. These projects helped put his name on the global stage.
