With the rapid growth in China's cities, some architecture companies are trying to help the environment keep up. Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take “green”designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they're reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD's newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York, or Rome.
