His practice is made of both history and invention. Wang Shu creates an architecture based on a reappropriation of Chinese time and culture. He saves ancestral skills in order to make them competent once again. He transforms building knowledge to adapt them to the sizes and the tempo of contemporary programs. The architect doesn’t copy old patterns but reinvents the architectural culture and puts it back into the movement of history. Jana REVEDIN Architect PhD – Associate Professor at Umeä University (Sweden) Founder and President of the LOCUS Fund Jana Revedin studied architecture in Buenos Aires, Princeton and at Milan Polytechnic. In 1996 she founded her own architectural practice in Venice and in Austria. Her combined Italian and rationalist German background gives her a special eye for sustainable architecture and its twin concerns with people and place. In 2006, she creates the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture to reward architects from all corners of the globe who are working towards more sustainable social and cultural development. In 2009, she broadens her action with the creation of the LOCUS Fund for innovation and transmission in architecture and the city. Françoise GED Architect – Director of the Observatoire de l'Architecture de la Chine contemporaine Françoise GED regularly stays in China since 1985.
