Accompanyingan exhibition of the same name at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, thispublication examines the recent work of the Chinese architect Wang Shu,Pritzker Prize winner in 2012.
At a time when China’s explosive urbanizationis making inroads into rural areas and leaving the marks of cheap concreteconstruction everywhere, Wang Shu and Amateur Architecture Studio are keen towork against this tendency by reusing materials from the buildings that Chineseauthorities are systematically tearing down and rebuilding after westernmodels.
Wang Shu’s architecture reveals a thoughtfulattitude toward both design and implementation, as well as the ability to reactflexibly to the surroundings and history of a particular site.
在路易斯安那现代艺术博物馆同名展览的同时,本出版物考察了2012年普利兹克奖得主中国建筑师王澍的最新作品。
在中国爆炸性的城市化进程席卷农村地区,到处都留下廉价混凝土建筑的印记之际,王澍和业余建筑工作室热衷于通过使用中国当局有计划地拆除和拆除的建筑材料来对抗这种趋势并参照西方模式进行重建。
