The Absolute Towers, MAD studio


Yansong Ma of the Beijing-based architecture firm MAD created this stunningly curvaceous building for the a new 50-storey condo in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

"Our design forsakes the simplification principle of modernism. In fact, it expresses a higher level of complexity and diversity of modern society through multiple approaches. In the meantime, it caters to (ambiguous) social needs at multiple levels...The towers talk to each other and harmonize with each other. There is a synergy between them, an aura which transcends each of the individual buildings."

Hong Luo Club, MAD Ai Weiwei

The architecture explores the city dwellers’ understanding of the nature. Hong Luo Club House creates an ever changing space that echoes with the surroundings, where people and the nature are united.

The ever changing water surface joins the ascending roof, expressing the transition from liquid to solid.

The space structure and the functions of the house are integrated naturally.
