Spatial Strategy and Concept
MEET&EAT (M&E) is a community commercial team focused on creating multifunctional dining spaces. They previously developed the renowned More Than Eat project on Shanghai’s Julu Road and are now managing several spaces. For M&E, spaces not only provide complete dining services but also serve as a third space in the city, offering unique social experiences to the community. The spaces are designed to be free, open, and shared, accommodating various events and activities.
The Element pop-up store at HKRI Taikoo Hui offers an unconventional reflection on curatorial retail spaces. By thoughtfully curating the space, this project explores the sustainability of materials and, on another scale, integrates material properties and applications with the site. This approach bridges macro perception with micro perspective, allowing lifestyle to be conveyed through an unprecedented spatial experience.
Pinghe Bibliotheater is the core of OPEN’s latest project—School as Village/Shanghai Qingpu Pinghe International School. A library, a theater, and a black box interlock together like a Chinese puzzle to form this characteristic building that some call ‘the blue whale’ while others see it as an ocean liner. The unique form of the building and the free-flowing spaces not only cultivate the students’ interests in reading and performing, but also encourage their imagination to roam freely in the ocean of knowledge.
The Suzhou Bay Cultural Center is part of a series of emblematic projects initiated by the city’s Wujiang Lakefront Masterplan. Located on the shores of Lake Tai, the deserted plain was discovered by Christian de Portzamparc in 2013, while rethinking the future city. It was then built so quickly, that the architect never ceased to be amazed after every visit. Alive, it is like a real Manhattan of towers organized through a grid of streets and avenues, bordering a central pedestrian axis that heads towards the lake. It was clear that the meeting of this pedestrian axis and the great lake would generate an exceptional place, and it was on this site, on each side, that the cultural center was to be implanted in the architecture competition.
Located on Zhuhai’s coastal road, the new museum benefits from the proximity of the water as well as the mountains and a park in the background, whilst also being close to the opera house. Both buildings, the museum/exhibition complex and the opera house, represent a new statement for the entrance to Zhuhai city for travelers coming from the north.

In 2017, MAD Architects was commissioned to design a kindergarten next to a senior citizens’ apartment in Beijing, reflecting the client’s “intergenerational integration” ethos that blends pre-school education and eldercare. The subject site, covering an area of 9,275 square meters, consisted of an original 18th-century Siheyuan courtyard, an adjacent replica courtyard built in the 1990s, and a four-story modern building. Following its completion at the end of 2019, the kindergarten now serves as a pre-school education space for 390 children aged from 1.5 to 6 years old.
