Opening Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion

Nieuwe Instituut cordially invites you to celebrate the opening of Ma Yansong: Architecture and Emotion. Discover the visionary work of architect Ma Yansong and the globally influential firm MAD Architects, led by Ma Yansong, Dang Qun and Yosuke Hayano. Founded in 2004, MAD has redefined contemporary architecture by rethinking the relationship between people, nature and the built environment.

16 May 2025 18:00 - 21:59

MAD’s work is not only functional but also deeply experiential, designed to stimulate the senses and feelings. A highlight of the exhibition is the Tornado, the striking spiral staircase designed by MAD Architects for Fenix, a new museum in Rotterdam dedicated to exploring migration stories through art.
