Dean's List
-
MADA s.p.a.m.’s Thumb Island project, a new community center in the dynamic Shanghai neighborhood of Qingpu, is part landscape, part building. Situated in the middle of a lake, the building’s gently sloping roofs form parallel sine waves; covered in grass and walking paths, these surfaces are a functioning public park. -
When Ma designed a house for his father outside their home city of Xián, it became a learning experience. Working with the local employment cycle, it took 11 years to build. -
Ma’s house in Pasadena, California, is a renovation. His long-term plans for the site include building an addition and then expanding into the adjacent lot, which he also owns. -
The Well Hall outside Xián is now of the same resort complex as the Father’s House. Its roof line is both geometrically modern and convincingly traditional. -
