MAD is a young and innovative architectural design office practicing contemporary architecture, urbanism and cultural analysis. Based in Beijing, we examine and develop our concept of futurism beyond the boundaries of architecture by exploring into sociology, technology and politics in today’s China.
MAD’s ongoing projects include: the Absolute Tower in Toronto, Canada, it is the international competition MAD won in 2006; the Tianjin Sinosteel International Plaza, a 358M high-rise building in Tianjin, China; the Mongolian Museum in Inner Mongolia, China and some large-scale public complex and residential housing in Denmark, Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Costa Rica.
MAD’s work has been published worldwide. In 2006, MAD was awarded the Architectural League Young Architects Forum Award. The office has also presented its designs in a series of exhibitions, including the "MAD in China" exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennial, and the "MAD Under Construction" exhibition at the Beijing Tokyo Art Projects Gallery in Beijing. In 2007, "MAD in China," a floating city of MAD's work, was shown at the Danish Architecture Centre (DAC), in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2008, MAD published its first book MAD DINNER with ACTAR.
