The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, this summer, we will be looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. In the space of the 13 years since their participation in the Architects Directory in 2007, Chinese architecture firm MAD, headed by Ma Yansong, has become an international powerhouse with projects ranging hugely, both in scale and geographical location. Here, we visit their latest, nature-inspired, mixed-used development Nanjing Zendai Himalayas Center.
