Founded by Mr. QingYun Ma in 1996 in New York and launched in Shanghai in 1999, MADA s.p.a.m. has developed into one of the most energetic and creative design firms in China. Deriving from its trans-cultural mission and cross-pacific practice, MADA has become one of the most visible firms both in China and around the world through its critical thinking and participative practice. MADA s.p.a.m.'s work has been widely published and exhibited, including the first cultural facility exhibited in the Venice Biennale, exhibition at the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the first solo show from China in Aedes Gallery in Berlin. Currently we have more than 50 designers and architects based in the head office of Shanghai.
