About the exhibition
Founded in 2004, MAD has redefined contemporary architecture by rethinking the relationship between people, nature and the built environment. 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 for Fenix, a new museum in Rotterdam dedicated to exploring migration stories through art.
