From October 22 to 24, 2012, Ma Yansong participated in the first international conference on architecture, engineering and structure at the 2012 Lima International Architecture Festival, organized by the Peruvian Business Development Association.

MAD Architects, Foster & Partners, Rojkind Architects, Canvas Architects, Atelier Lima, and other internationally renowned architectural firms gave speeches on sustainable architecture at various symposiums during the festival. In addition, the festival also provided an opportunity for Ma Yansong (MAD), Michel Rojkind (Rojkind Architects), and Brandon Haw (Foster & Partners) to have a wonderful exchange and discussion.
