The annual architecture lecture 2016 wang shu and lu wenyu
Lu Wenyu (Chinese: 陆文宇) is a Chinese architect and cofounder, with her husband Wang Shu, of the firm Amateur Architecture Studio. They chose the name as a rebuke of the "professional, soulless architecture" practiced in China, which they believe has contributed to the large-scale demolition of many old urban neighborhoods.
