At a time when China's explosive urbanization is making inroads into rural areas and leaving the marks of cheap concrete construction everywhere, Wang Shu and Amateur Architecture Studio are keen to work against this tendency by reusing materials from the buildings that Chinese authorities are systematically tearing down and rebuilding after western models. Wang Shu's architecture reveals a thoughtful attitude toward both design and implementation, as well as the ability to react flexibly to the surroundings and history of a particular site.Country/Region of Manufacture: CHGenre: Architecture & AntiquesAuthor: Iwan BaanRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
