Bartlett International Lecture Series 2013-14 // Ma Yansong

Shanshui City In this lecture Ma Yansong will introduce recent projects by MAD Architects, including his ideas on Shanshui City. To Ma Yansong Shanshui City is a combination of city density, functionality and the artistic conception of natural landscape. This idea could be taken as a critique of the state of urbanisation in contemporary China and an imagination of future cities. Ma Yansong says: "The city of the future will shift from the pursuit of material civilisation to the pursuit of nature, aiming at composing a space that takes human spirit and emotion at their cores." Beijing born architect Ma Yansong has been recognised as a important voice of a new generation of architects. His works are widely published and exhibited since the founding MAD in 2004. He studied at the Beijing Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and holds a master degree in Architecture from Yale University and taught Architecture at the Central Academy of Fine arts in Beijing. Prior to founding MAD, Ma Yansong worked as a project designer with Zaha Hadid Architects in London.
