Wang Shu

WANG SHU and LU WENYU are architects and educators. In 1997, they co-founded Amateur Architecture Studio in Hangzhou, China. Together, the two also founded the architecture department at the China Academy of Art in 2003. Their focus on re-establising a contemporary language for Chinese architecture is reflected in their built works such as Ningbo Historic Museum and the Xiang- shan Campus of the China Academy of Art. The latter was named one of “The 25 Most Significant Works of Postwar Architecture” all over the world, selected by the New York Times in 2021.
