Ma Yansong in conversation with Edwin Heathcote of the Financial Times.

Recently, Ma Yansong was invited to be interviewed by the Financial Times, and the interview was published in Design and Architecture at the end of March. In this report, Edwin Heathcote wrote:

Ma Yansong is not outstanding because of his nationality, but his age. Most other architects may not design a house until they are 40 years old, but Ma Yansong has his own office at the age of 35, and it is humorously named MAD Crazy (and the official website is in response to the well-known brand i series that has swept the world recently). Now he has projects in Canada, Rome and Harbin.

In this report, Heathcote and Ma Yansong discussed the new atmosphere of celebrity architects, how Ma Yansong succeeded so quickly, MAD's style, and his thoughts on the future of Chinese cities.
