Chaoyang Park Plaza is about how to carry the traditional culture into a new format in modern architecture. Instead of building a boundary between the city and the park, I tried to design this building to emerge from the natural landscape.

Chinese - Architect Born: 1975

With the author

Early in my career, I tried to bring an artistic feeling to architecture. That's really the intent and impression of what I think about: context, space, shapes, and landscape.

Ma Yansong

A lot of ancient poetry sees in nature a reflection of human emotions, and in a post-industrialized era, once people have become more aware of the necessity of a more harmonious relation between man and nature, we need to build cities which can connect with human spiritual needs instead of being merely functional.

Ma Yansong

Although we're architects, we believe we do culture; architecture is culture, and the topics we tackle will always arise a broader debate.

Ma Yansong

When I graduated from high school, I thought I wanted to make science fiction movies, so I applied to film school, but I couldn't get in. A professor told me I should try architecture instead.

Ma Yansong

What if we treat the high-rise like a mountain, or we have gardens in the sky, or waterfalls? I think that's the most challenging thing I want to try in my architecture.

Ma Yansong

I'm trying to create architecture as landscape. But I'm not copying nature.

Ma Yansong

Architecture is about experience: not only visual but also what you can touch, what you can feel.

Ma Yansong

Since the Beijing Olympics in 2008, our office has been discussing how we can make architecture more human and at one with nature. We need to ask ourselves, what legacy do we want to leave behind on humankind's urban culture?

I bought a former library, not because I have a lot of books, but also I like architecture, and it was built in 1965, and I like gardening.

Udo Kier

Society understands the architecture of academia and knows there are relevant qualifications in different fields, and the media accepts the idea of specialisations and accords greater respect to those with greater expertise. With one exception: climate science.

Jay Griffiths

We literally see things so differently, all the architecture and stuff. That's the cool part about skateboarding. We're out there skating stuff that's not meant to be skated.

Nyjah Huston

I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you.

Alex Winter

One of the dilemmas of architecture in general is that there is a Catch-22 - you can't actually get to be commissioned to do certain types of building until you've already built that type of building. So it seems to be incredibly hard to get going.

Bjarke Ingels

Never talk to a client about architecture. Talk to him about his children. That is simply good politics. he will not understand what you have to say about architecture most of the time.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

A film carries six fine arts - it consists of architecture, painting, music, writing or literature, photography and performance. It's a conjecture of all these things and yet based on literature.

Gulzar

The Ambedkar park represents modern Lucknow. It might not have the stature of a historical monument like the Taj Mahal, but it has an architecture which doesn't fail to impress.
