ma yansong / MAD architects: footprints

terence riley has been appointed chief curator for the 2011 shenzhen & hong kong bi-city biennale of urbanism \ architecture, which will take place from december 11, 2011 - february 10, 2012.

in his scaled reproduction, douglas young captures the evolving characteristics of the buildings from the famous kowloon walled city.

'the grand resource' project, walks a thin line between a scaled model of a grandiose wind-power harnessing infrastructure proposal and an art/design object, becoming a temporary addition to the hong kong skyline.

this exhibition features experiential installations within a series of small-scale facades placed in a row, similar to a neighborhood avenue.

recently completed and now open to the public in ordos, china, this center has become a fixture within the community providing spaces for residents to congregate and lounge while maintaining their cultural traditions.

the warped exterior of this structure intends to break away from the monotonous rhythm created by the office buildings of beijing's central business district.
