Ma Yansong is a Chinese architect born in 1975 in Beijing. He studied at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture as well as Yale University. In 2004 he founded MAD Architects.
I love the shapes of his buildings. I see similarities with Zara Hadid, the shapes, the curves.
“Ma Yansong is a young Chinese architect – just 35 – who has come to architectural maturity at a time when his country is beginning to allow the freedom of expression so vital to the artist and sufficient freedom to the economy to allow his ideas to be realized as buildings. His work expresses the tension between the individual imagination and the needs of society as a whole.” RIBA President Ruth Reed, 2010.
