?The idea is about bringing nature to the modern city. We want to make this a new typology, one that will be very good for the future of architecture, […]  We never separate artificial and natural. We use artificial elements to extend the human spirit, […] It is very handcrafted?We want to make every part of it a unique experience.?
?Ma Yansong, founder of MAD Architects said in a Zoom meeting with The Denver Post.
