    Beijing-born architect Ma Yansong is recognized as an important voice in the new generation of architects. In recent years, many of Ma’s designs follow his conception of the “Shanshui City”— a vision to create balance among society, the city and the environment through new architectural forms.

    At MAD, Ma has created a series of imaginative works, including Absolute Towers, Hutong Bubble 32, Ordos Museum, China Wood Sculpture Museum, and Fake Hills, along with on-going international projects located in Rome, Paris, Okazaki, Chicago and Beverly Hills. In 2014, Ma was selected as the principal designer for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Chicago, making him the first Chinese architect to design an overseas cultural landmark.

    Ma graduated from the Beijing Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and holds a Master’s Degree in Architecture from Yale University. He is currently a professor in Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture.
