Summary:
It is commonly understood that school buildings house complex systems. From the kindergarten to the university faculty, the journey through the levels of learning consists of an accumulation of vital experiences arising from the interaction between these systems. The educational function now builds its environments with new paradigms that reflect and respond to an increasingly diverse and complex social agenda. Javier Mozas analyses these new educational models in this third instalment of the “Complex Buildings” series, which also includes recent projects by C.F. Møller, NL Architects, Aleph Zero, OMA, Gigon/Guyer, Studio Velocity, and COBE Architects.

Summary:
Established by Ma Yansong in 2004, MAD Architects designs and builds organic and dreamlike architectures that invoke our spiritual and emotional connection with nature. It is an architecture of fiction, or perhaps even anticipation, where nature and architecture merge. This book, conceived and designed by the architect, takes readers on a “journey” along the office’s most significant projects, through photomontages, drawings, models, and images. Among these are the Absolute Towers outside Toronto, Harbin Opera House and Chaoyang Park Plaza in China, Clover House kindergarten in Japan, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, and UNIC in Paris.
