At MAD, the Jiaxing Train Station project is designed to meet today's needs and plan for the future. We've planted over 1,500 trees and designed spaces for culture and shopping that look like green hills. This design connects the station with the surrounding area, making it more useful and inviting for local people. It brings new energy to the city center. We see this project as a way for cities in China to grow and improve, keeping the community and sustainability in mind. #MADarchitects #MaYansong #JiaxingTrainStation #China #UrbanGrowth #CommunityFocus

Celebrating a milestone in architectural heritage, we are proud to unveil the completion of the Jiaxing Train Station, a 354,000 sqm project that modernizes and honors China's transportation history. At its core is the reconstruction of the old 1907 station building, crafted from 210,000 mud bricks sourced locally, showcasing the spirit of Jiaxing. Our design goes beyond traditional infrastructure, integrating an underground terminal within a public park, reflecting our commitment to community, ecology, and cultural life. This expansion increases the station's capacity to six tracks, anticipating 5.28 million annual visitors by 2025. The revival journey, driven by historical research with scholars, consultants and experts in heritage architecture and analysis from the Jiaxing City Archives, ensured an authentic reconstruction. We've restored the station's structure and rejuvenated its soul, establishing a new standard for transportation hubs as centers of public joy and ecological harmony. Our new design combines historic and visionary elements, with a transparent interface that presents the dialogue between old and new. This landmark now stands not just as a gateway to the future of travel but also as a beacon of Jiaxing's railway heritage. This blends history and community spirit, an architectural landmark that redefines public spaces and transportation in China. #MADArchitects #MaYansong #JiaxingTrainStation #ArchitecturalHeritage #urbanmobility

We proudly unveil the Nanhai Art Center in Foshan City, a 59,445 sqm cultural landmark blending art, nature, and community. Set to begin construction later this year, this center is more than a structure; it’s a fusion of public space and cultural venues, including a Grand Theatre, Museum, and Sports Center. Positioned in the heart of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it’s designed to bridge communities and celebrate the spirit of Nanhai’s culture. The center’s unique architecture, reminiscent of ripples by the lake, invites the community to engage with nature and the arts. With sustainability at its core, the project is a step towards a greener, more connected urban life. #MADArchitects #MaYansong #NanhaiArtCenter #FoshanCity #CulturalHarmony

‘In Rotterdam, a city with so much new architecture, the emphasis is on big volumes and very strong, heavy buildings. But this place [FENIX] is different.’ Ma Yansong, MAD Architects 🌪️ What makes FENIX so different? You can tell us!

New Design for Anji Culture and Art Center🍃 Located in the Zhejiang Province in southeast China, near Shanghai, Anji is the only county to win the "United Nations Habitat Award" in China. The project is designed as a transitional connecting space between the natural and built environments of the region; on the east side lies the city, while the river and the mountains in the distance on its west side. "We pursue the unique aura of this region and integrate it into everyday life." – Ma Yansong The project is arranged along the axis of the visual corridor on both sides to allow the central corridor to become an open outdoor platform where visitors can take in framed views of the mountains and the sky above. The volume of the building is evenly distributed beneath the white tiled “bamboo leaves” roof, whose undulating silhouette echoes the shape of the surrounding hill planted with Anji white tea. The Anji Culture and Art Center has begun construction and is expected to be completed and used in 2025. #anji #anjicultureandartcenter #bambooleaves #transitionalconnectingspace #natureandbuitenvironment #madarchitects #mayansong
