The sixth issue of the 2008 Chinese edition of A+U International launched a special issue on Ma Yansong - Crazy Rabbit, which selected several projects of MAD Architecture in different stages of implementation since the Hongluo Club in 2005. These projects not only include architecture, but also touch upon art, design, exhibitions and publishing, and are a testimony to the fact that the firm led by Ma Yansong has gradually moved from wild ideas to reality and gradually realized its views and ideals in recent years.
