For First Time, Architect in China Wins Top Prize
By ROBIN POGREBIN
The Chinese architect Wang Shu, whose buildings in a rapidly developing
China honor the past with salvaged materials even as they experiment with
modern forms, has been awarded the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Mr. Wang is the first Chinese citizen to win the prize (I. M. Pei, an
American, was the first Chinese-born architect to win, in 1983) and the
fourth-youngest.
The selection of Mr. Wang, 48, is an acknowledgment of “the role that China
will play in the development of architectural ideals,” said Thomas J.
Pritzker, chairman of the Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the prize and
announced the winner on Monday.
“The question of the proper relation of present to past is particularly
timely, for the recent process of urbanization in China invites debate as to
whether architecture should be anchored in tradition or should look only
toward the future,” the jury said in its citation. “As with any great
architecture, Wang Shu’s work is able to transcend that debate, producing
an architecture that is timeless, deeply rooted in its context and yet
universal.”
The prize, founded in 1979 by Jay A. Pritzker and his wife, Cindy, to honor
a living architect, consists of a $100,000 grant and a bronze medallion,
which this year will be awarded at a ceremony in Beijing on May 25.
Mr. Wang’s major projects, all in China, include two in Ningbo, a coastal
city south of Shanghai: the Ningbo Contemporary Art Museum, completed in
2005, and the Ningbo Historic Museum, completed in 2008.
With the history museum, a commission Mr. Wang won in 2004 after an
international competition, he sought to evoke what life used to be like in
this harbor city.
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.”
In designing the Xingshan Campus of the China Academy of Art in his native
Hangzhou, Mr. Wang also reused materials, covering the campus buildings with
more than two million tiles from demolished traditional houses.
“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.”
Inspired by his father, a musician and amateur carpenter, and his mother, a
teacher and school librarian, Mr. Wang seemed to be headed toward a career
as an artist or a writer, though his parents pushed him to study science and
engineering. He compromised by going for an architecture degree from the
Nanjing Institute of Technology, where he also earned a master’s.
His first job was researching the old buildings at Zhejiang Academy of Fine
Arts in Hangzhou as it underwent a renovation. His first architectural
project — a youth center for the small town of Haining, also in Zhejiang
Province, near Hangzhou — was completed in 1990.
In 1997, after a decade of working with various craftsmen to gain building
experience, Mr. Wang and his wife, Lu Wenyu, founded their own practice in
Hangzhou, called Amateur Architecture Studio.
The firm’s name was chosen to emphasize the spontaneous and experimental,
Mr. Wang said. His work has an earthy, industrial quality, with unorthodox,
angular shapes that in some cases echo his passion for calligraphy.
“My work is more thoughtful than simply ‘built,’ ” he said, adding that
the “handicraft aspect” of his work was important to him, as a contrast to
what he considers much of the “professionalized, soulless architecture, as
practiced today.”
Mr. Wang has likened architecture to creating a Chinese garden: it requires
the ability to be flexible, to improvise and to solve unexpected problems.
He brought this sensibility to his breakout project, the Library of Wenzheng
College at Suzhou University, which was completed in 2000 and received the
Architecture Art Award of China in 2004.
Honoring both the environment and traditions of Suzhou, a city famous for
its gardens, he was careful to make his work as unobtrusive as possible:
nearly half the building is underground.
“Wang Shu’s oeuvre, seen in depth by the jurors during a visit to China,
left no doubt that we were witnessing the work of a master,” said Lord
Palumbo, the Pritzker’s chairman.
Mr. Wang says he approaches design as a traditional Chinese painter would;
he studies the settings — whether cities, valleys or mountains — for about
a week as the design materializes in his mind.
The plan for the Ningbo Historic Museum, for example, came to him one night
when he could not sleep, he said. He got out of bed and started drawing in
pencil: the structure, space sizes, entrance locations and other aspects.
“Then,” he said, “I drank tea.”

加个大屋顶的帽子啊，弄个像斗拱一样的世博展览馆啊，都是极其恶俗的。
怎样把“中国式”用现代主义建筑的语言融合表达出来，才是当代中国本土建筑师应该
考虑和追求的。王澍在这点上有坚持。并坚持原创，而非一边抄外国人的形式一边思考。

铲子现在都怕了，一听说有中贡国人得奖，心里面先打个冷颤。

新浪网易都发了，但是连首页都没登上，在什么房地产版块给了一个几百字的报道。
还是凤凰卫视第一时间报道了此事。国内的电视媒体我反正还没看到。
这个奖是建筑界最牛逼的奖项，没有更牛逼的了。如果国内媒体那班人有点文化，这做个专题是
绝对值得的。国内只认一个诺贝尔，如果真正的中国人得了诺贝尔非和平奖，媒体能那么淡定吗
？
