MA YANSONG
About Speaker
Ma Yansong, born in Beijing, is recognized as an important voice in the new generation of architects. He is the first Chinese architect to win an overseas landmark-building project. As the founder and principal of MAD Architects, Ma leads design across various scales. In recent years, many of Ma’s designs follow his conception of the “Shanshui City”, which is his vision to create a new balance among society, the city and the environment through architecture. Since designing the “Floating Island” in 2002, Ma has been exploring this idea through an international practice.
At MAD, Ma has created a series of imaginative works, including Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Absolute Towers, Harbin Opera House, Hutong Bubble 32, Ordos Museum, Chaoyang Park Plaza, Huangshan Mountain Village, etc. In 2014, Ma was selected as the principal designer for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which made him the first Chinese architect to design overseas culture landmark. Parallel to his design practice, he has also been exploring with the public the cultural values of cities and architecture through domestic and international solo exhibitions, publications and art works. www.i-mad.com

Event text
Here we go! Now that we can not meet you and our speakers at a fully booked auditorium, we will bring the speakers directly to your homes and offices.
Starting in November, we will “visit” selected countries around the world and virtually meet some of their most relevant architects. The current list of countries includes Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, South Korea, China, Estonia/Lithuania, South Africa, Mexico, and the United States.
For the opening event, we will have two of our most admired architects participating together on our virtual stage, who will talk about their personal experiences and important creative periods in their lives and, as always at “AnA“, not a word may be lost about their projects.
Join us on Thursday, December 3rd, 2020 live from 14:00 to 15:30 CET, Berlin time (13:00 London time, 21:00 Beijing time, 08:00 EST) to listen to the following inspiring architects:
– Ma Yansong, MAD Architects, Beijing, www.i-mad.com
– Thomas Heatherwick, Heatherwick Studio, London, www.heatherwick.com
There will be a rerun (not live) from 20:00 to 21:30 CET, Berlin time.
Virtual Feedback Cards for the Speaker
Dear viewer, Maybe you have never attended on of our events, but maybe you know this already. Your work is required! As the speakers share many of their personal experiences with us, we would like to present them a special gift, now in a virtual way.
Please write down on the following text box what you enjoyed most about the talk. Our goal is to present each speaker with personal feedback cards, as we do at our events. At our events, we collect the cards right before we start with the round table and hand them over in a box at the end of the event.
Please participate! Our speakers love it and we want to continue with this tradition.
