Ma Yansong

Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion offers an unparalleled exploration of the work and philosophy of visionary architect Ma Yansong and the global practice he founded, MAD Architects. Founded in 2004 and led by Ma Yansong, Dang Qun and Yosuke Hayano, MAD Architects has transformed contemporary architecture by fostering deep connections between people, nature, and emotion.

With offices in Los Angeles, Rome and Beijing, MAD continues to push the boundaries of architectural innovation, shaping a future where design transcends functionality to engage the senses and the spirit. The exhibition immerses visitors in the ideas, forms and processes that define Ma’s work, from his critique of modernism and globalisation to his enduring and powerful organic designs.

More than just a display of architectural projects, the exhibition is a multi-sensory experience that engages the senses and emotions through dynamic models, artists’ interpretations and multimedia installations. It connects MAD’s groundbreaking designs with the profound emotional responses they inspire.
