Young and innovative, the Beijing-based architectural firm 'MAD'
has gained international acclaim. "MAD Dinner" presents the firm's
use of high-tech visualisations and imaginary shapes with proposals
for the sustainable future of the Chinese city, challenging Chinese
approaches to values, culture, and environment. Like a dinner table
conversation, this is a collection of ideas and opinions from
politics to ecology to fame to the future.The dinner 'guests' are
from all levels of Chinese society: a government official,
hairdresser, migrant laborers, a doctor, a taxi driver, a
developer, brought together to exchange views in an open
atmosphere. MAD's work is embedded in a series of extended
conversations with international advisors, including the Swiss
curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, British writer Ian Buruma, filmmakers
Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke, and the artist Ai Weiwei. The
conversations work in tandem with MAD's proposals on the
architect's freedoms and limitations inside China, the world's
fastest urbanizing nation.
