MAD architects: 'hutong bubble 32', beijing
'hotong bubble 32'

old beijing is composed of hutongs, alleys of communal courtyard homes.
MAD architects has suggested a type of new urban lifestyle by inserting the modern
architectural structure 'hutong bubble 32' into a traditional hutong building.
'hutong bubble 32' includes a bathroom since residents of hutongs usually have limited space
with no indoor bathroom, and includes a staircase to the roof garden.
taking the shape of a bubble, it is attached to the wooden column and brick structure
of the old building.
