Under the action of the lights, the building is crystal clear, like a round of bright moon rising from the lake, echoing the shadow in the lake, which has both modern mood and classical charm.

MAD also exhibited the installation "not the moon" during the Beijing Design Week in 2021. A simple ball experienced a variety of dimensions such as fission, rotation, dispersion, and gathering. Let the people in the realistic space of the city have an empathy and get closer.

Install effective air pressure. The temperature control system, etc. As long as the technology is mature, you can build a "dungeon" in a large area of ​​the moon for long -term survival.
