Each city has its own feelings and language. The development of a city can be seen through the buildings in different periods. As a famous architect, what is Ma Yansong's ideal city like?

Perhaps we can feel his spiritual yearning from his architectural works: in "Bubble Hutong", modern materials collide with traditional architectural patterns; In Siheyuan Kindergarten, the space limitation was tried to break; In Yiwu Grand Theater, the emotion between human and nature is established and extended through architecture; In Cloud Cave Library, space is shaped into a sense of sculpture... Each piece of work shows ingenuity in blending natural space and artificial landscape at different levels.

The architecture in the city is not only a place to live and geographical coordinates, but also conveys the position of people in the long river of culture and time. It knows where we come from, what kind of people we are, and what kind of city and future we hope to create.
