As a practice that&#8217;s earned a reputation for experimental, inventive, and forward-looking work, the firm was founded by Ma Yansong in 2004. With offices in Beijing, Los Angeles, Rome and Jiaxing, MAD first gained international recognition for the <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/absolute-towers\/\">Absolute Towers<\/a> completed in Toronto. Designed to rethink urban life, the residential towers explore the question &#8220;what is the house of today&#8221; and what message should contemporary architecture convey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100697 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-121.jpg\" alt=\"Absolute Towers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-121.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-121-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-121-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-121-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-100698 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-117-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>As the team states, MAD &#8220;stands for a state of mind \u2013 an attitude towards architecture and design practice&#8221; that is directly reflected in their signature towers project. MAD won out over 91 competitors from 70 countries in a 2006 juried contest staged by Fern brook Homes and the Cityzen Group, co-developers of the site at the important Mississauga intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Hurontario Street.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to create a new identity for the fast developing suburb of Mississauga, the design team took the project as an opportunity to respond to the needs of an expanding and growing city. The result is a residential landmark that was nicknamed the &#8220;Marilyn Monroe&#8221; by locals for it&#8217;s curving, dance-like forms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100707 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90.jpg\" alt=\"Absolute Towers\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90-1020x1024.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90-768x771.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/14-90-299x300.jpg 299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100695 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121.jpg\" alt=\"Absolute Towers\" width=\"1843\" height=\"1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121.jpg 1843w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-121-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1843px) 100vw, 1843px\" \/>The two towers range in height from 50 to 56 stories, a design that aimed to provide residents an emotional connection to their hometown. The towers feature elliptical-shaped slabs that are twisted around a central vertical axis resulting in a curvaceous shape.<\/p>\n<p>Working with structural engineers <a href=\"https:\/\/soudack.com\/\">Sigmund, Soudack &amp; Associates<\/a>, the team was able to address two key challenges in the project: the rotation of every floor meant that the engineers had to calculate the maximum load on every structural element. In addition, to address the thermal transfer between the open balconies and the interior, a new kind of thermal break was devised where the balconies meet the wall in two-foot segments alternating with four-foot gaps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-100701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-119-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>Every floor on the towers is different; they are stacked in a way that produces a tower that is basically an ellipse that keeps moving. As they spiral from the ground, the elliptical floor-plates rotate 209 degrees, bottom to top, to generate the pneumatic profile of the building.<\/p>\n<p>The walls and columns of each had to be designed separately to bear the loads. When the team designed some of the columns, they needed to account for non-linear behavior of materials. Because of the shape of the walls, and because the column is curved, the building has additional forces that create tensions throughout the structure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-100703 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-104.jpg\" alt=\"Absolute Towers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-104.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-104-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-104-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-104-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100700 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117.jpg\" alt=\"Absolute Towers\" width=\"1400\" height=\"981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-117-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>Acting as a gateway to the city beyond, MAD&#8217;s design was meant to be both sculptural and human. The team explained that the design &#8220;features a continuous balcony that surrounds the whole building, eliminating the vertical barriers traditionally used in high rise architecture. The entire building rotates by different degrees at different levels, corresponding with the surrounding scenery. Our aim is to provide 360 degree views for each residential unit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In so doing, MAD imagined how architecture can form a stronger relationship between humans and nature in connection to history, and in turn, challenged people\u2019s emotions and feelings through the Absolute Towers design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><p class=\"p1\"><i>Architizer's <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/awards.architizer.com\/a\/page\/judging\/jury?utm_source=architizer&amp;utm_medium=blog\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>diverse jury of global experts<\/i><\/span><\/a><em> is currently reviewing submissions to<\/em><i> the <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/enter.architizer.com\/?utm_source=architizer&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=nav\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>14th A+Awards<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>!
