Full Frame: Sustainable Building with Architect Ma Yansong

Currently, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, and by 2050, that’ll jump to 68 percent, according to the United Nations. As cities become bigger and denser, Beijing-based architect Ma Yansong believes there’s still a way to infuse city life with a sense of freedom and an appreciation of nature.

Ma Yansong is principal of MAD Architects, and his designs incorporate aspects of shanshui Chinese paintings and the natural landscape. 

“Human beings and nature should combine together because human needs to have nature as a cultural reference,” Ma said. “Through the nature, through the trees, the rock, the water. That’s the spiritual quality of life in the city.”
