Founded in 2004 by the Chinese architect Ma Yansong, MAD Architects is an interna-tional firm with offices in Beijing, Los Angeles, Rome, and Jiaxing. Since its beginnings, the studio has been committed to the develop-ment of futuristic, organic, and dreamlike proj-ects inspired in a contemporary interpretation of the spirit of nature. The following pages include some of the studio’s proposals, which are focussed on human emotions, feelings, and spiritual needs, and in which the popula-tion may live outside of nature but can return to it too, trying to create a balance between people, the city, and the environment, in a vision of the future city
