Back in 2021, MAD Architects revealed its ambitious vision for the Aranya Cloud Center. Work on the project is now well underway and the firm has shared some details on its progress, including its complex structural system and eye-catching exterior.

MAD recently completed its first European project – but it certainly won't be its last. The firm has revealed plans for a mixed-use building in Milan, Italy, that's defined by a lush greenery covered facade intersected with polished metal staircases.

MAD Architects has completed its first project in Europe. The Unic apartment building in Paris, France, is enlivened by an eye-catching curving facade, is impressively energy efficient and has been constructed to exacting Passive House standards.

It's rare to see a firm as high-profile as MAD Architects take on the unglamorous work of social housing, but it has indeed done so. Baiziwan Social Housing is designed to resemble a mountain range and features raised walkways and lots of greenery.

Nestled into the snow-covered landscape, MAD's Yabuli Entrepreneurs' Congress Center is now complete. The building combines a striking exterior form with a stunning interior layout that's carefully arranged to maximize natural light and views.

The latest US project by the always interesting MAD Architects is a striking glazed tower for Hollywood that's described as the office of the future, and would include lots of greenery and foster a healthy work/life balance for those working inside.

It's fair to say that MAD Architects draws a lot of inspiration from clouds and this is again the case with its planned Hainan Science and Technology Museum, which will feature a cloud-like form wrapped in an unusual plastic facade.

A cloud is forming in Qinhuangdao, China, though it's not some kind of meteorological event, but the latest project by MAD Architects. The Aranya Cloud Center will serve as a flexible events space and is currently under construction.
