MAD Architects' Dixon Junliang Lu, how do you integrate nature into urban projects?
Dixon Junliang Lu is Associate Partner at MAD Architects’ Los Angeles Office. This is Dixon’s second stint with MAD, having acted as Head of Operations for their Beijing office from 2008 to 2011. Dixon helped to conceptualize and organize the firm’s installation in partnership with Olafur Eliasson for “Feelings are Facts” at UCCA. Since returning to MAD in 2014, Dixon has project managed the firm’s first US Project, Gardenhouse, a commission for mixed-use complex with luxury condominiums in Beverly Hills. He is the Los Angeles office’s leader, managing operations, projects, and overall strategy.
In this episode of How Do You Do? Podcast, Ben asks Dixon to share insight into the design of Gardenhouse, which features America's "largest living wall" (2:04); how the firm integrates nature into an urban project (12:08); how he and his colleagues approach brainstorming architecture (17:58); and more.
