Shanshui City is the latest book from MAD Architects\u2019 founder and principal partner, Ma Yansong. The English edition features art direction from Kenya Hara with essays by key Western and Eastern contributors, such as Hans Ulrich Obrist & Lorenza Baroncelli, and Wang Mingxian. The publishing of Shanshui City coincides with MAD Architects\u2019 10th founding anniversary. Ma\u2019s poetic, yet precise language details the development and practice of the \u201cShanshui City\u201d design philosophy, in which \u201carchitects should delineate a new ideal for the city of the future, to gradually construct an urban environment that embodies both the convenience of the modern city and the ancient Eastern affinity for the natural world.\u201d Extending contact with the natural world, \u201cShanshui\u201d is an idealized Chinese worldview to seek and integrate spiritual refuge in nature among the everyday life of humanity. \u201cShanshui City\u201d is not simply an eco-city, or a garden-city, nor does it imply modeling the city\u2019s architecture on natural forms such as mountains; rather, it represents humanity\u2019s affinity for the natural world and our quest for inner fulfillment, as expressed in philosophies of the East.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
