Collaborating with Nature
When architecture and the natural world combine, both are transformed.
“The exterior and interior connections between buildings
and private and public spaces provide a rich environment
where an emphasis on livability prevails.”
Wang Shu's Amateur Architecture Studio
is known for incorporating recycled
building materials from torn-down
structures in new ones. Wang Shu often
works with construction workers directly
to incorporate discarded bricks, roof tiles
and other detritus into elegant, and other detritus into elegant,
streamlinedbuildings that incorporate
the past via beautiful and highly tactile
textures.

The museum, which includes recycled architectural materials
from the area, “is one of those unique buildings that while
striking in photos, is even more moving when experienced,”
the jury said. “The museum is an urban icon, a well-tuned
repository for history and a setting where the visitor comes
first.”
“Everywhere you can see, they don’t care about the materials,” Mr. Wang said in an interview.
“They just want new buildings, they just want new things. I think the material is not just about
materials. Inside it has the people’s experience, memory — many things inside. So I think it’s for
an architect to do something about it.”
