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

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.
