Before the over the top, logo heavy madness of today’s next-gen masterpieces became the visual norm for video game cover art, there was the basic beauty of the Atari 2600’s approach to package design.

China has always been in news for reasons good and bad. Rising population, innovative technology, mass production, affordable counterfeit products and, of course, medals at Olympics has brought popularity to this country in recent times. However, future seems to be more bright and starry with mobile Chinatowns floating in the air. Dubbed as ‘Superstar: A Mobile China Town, this project is the brainwork of MAD. Before you accuse me of name-calling, allow me to clarify that Mad is an architectural design studio from Beijing. And this floating city of the future is in response to the ‘Uneternal City’ exhibition. Colossal enough to carry 15,000 natives, this town will have everything that you and me can ask for a comfortable sustainable lifestyle. Right from resorts, malls to oriental trademarks like health resorts, drinking water lakes and sports facilities. It also promises to dole out most sought-after Chinese cuisine and made-in-China products.
