Conference Centre by MAD Architects, Yabuli, China
Cited along the axis of a mountain, MAD's design of the "Yabuli Conference Centre" is a tent-like structure that is defined by soft, sloping lines. Casually mirroring its mountainous backdrop, it reaches a maximum height of 24 meters, allowing it to settle quietly into the landscape. While humble in its presence, it does not lose the dynamic atmosphere of northern China – integrated with the sky, the ground, the snow, the forest, and the mountains.
