WHAT’S NEXT MAD Architects and environmental designers are in working stages of developing the ultimate structure of green design, known as the Urban Forest, set to be constructed in the heart of Chongquing, China. Interpreting the natural mountainous landscape of the area, the commercial high-rise building will be composed of abstracted floors that are built off-center from one another as the building ascends. Each level will be fully encompassed by a wrap around glass balcony, providing innovative transparency throughout the building- as if each floor is floating. Photo courtesy of MAD Architects LignÊ
