Urban architecture inspired by mountains, clouds and volcanoes
Speaker:
Ma Yansong
Description:

His exuberant and graceful work -- from a pair of curvy skyscrapers that "dance" with each other to an opera house that looks like a snow-capped mountain -- shows us the beauty of architecture that defies norms.
