MARK #35 Dec 2011 / Jan 2012


A history lesson is on the agenda as we meet with former businessman Wang Wei, who promotes a new way of dealing with China’s architectural heritage. Meanwhile, Los Angeles planning consultant Marcy Goodwin builds bridges between museum clients and their architects. The skyline of Toronto suburb Mississauga is livened with two towering – albeit natural – skyscrapers of Ma Yansong. In Biarritz, the Cité de l’Océan et du Surf is Steven Holl Architects’ vision of how best to view the horizon. Finally, prepare yourself for a cosmic spectacle at Iceland’s new Harpa concert hall, where Henning Larsen and Olafur Eliasson merged forces.
