With offices in Beijing and Jiaxing, Los Angeles and Rome, MAD Architects is one of the most active and pioneering architectural design firms in the world – bringing a particular focus to bear also on the needs of the human beings using the spaces they design. Their latest commissions include the Changchun airport terminal, in China, which will cater for 22 million passengers every year, and the plant-covered multistorey carpark for the new Milano Innovation District.

 

Title: Be the MAD, be the LIGHT
Speaker: Andrea D'Antrassi. Associate Partner at MAD architects 
Moderators: Amit Gupta, Founder and Editor-in-Chief STIR, and Samta Nadeem, Brand Director, Curatorial Director STIR

Curated by Annalisa Rosso

The relationship between Light and Architecture is unique and extraordinary. In nature, light is fundamental to activating the photosynthesis process; for MAD, light is a foundational element of its design philosophy, becoming emotional light. Shadows are not absence but involvement; light is not just openness but detail.
