Ma Yansong (马岩松) is a young architect whose Beijing firm Mad recently won an international competion for the design of a landmark residential tower in Mississauga, Canda’s seventh largest city. Dubbed the ‘Marilyn Monroe Building’, it is a spectacular and sensuous skyscraper that was the favorite choice of the judges, the press and the public.
