"“I wanted the project to be built on the idea of flow and chaos space, function, and knowledge to flow into one another, freely.” says Ma Yansong, Founder and Principal Partner of MAD."
"“Different subjects should connect, overlap, and stay open. If artificial intelligence can already answer almost any question, a science museum's job is no longer to deliver facts. It is to teach children how to ask them.”"
"The Hainan Science Museum, designed by Ma Yansong and his firm MAD, has opened to the public on the edge of Wuyuan River National Wetland Park. Since its trial opening, it has welcomed more than 350,000 visitors in four months, with peak days drawing more than 5,800 people."
Hainan Science Museum, designed by Ma Yansong and MAD, opened to the public at the edge of Wuyuan River National Wetland Park. The museum has drawn more than 350,000 visitors in four months, with peak days exceeding 5,800 visitors. The design is based on the idea of flow and chaos, allowing space, function, and knowledge to intermix freely. Different subjects are intended to connect, overlap, and remain open rather than stay separated. With artificial intelligence able to answer many questions, the museum’s purpose is framed as teaching children how to ask questions instead of only delivering facts.
