Over a period of two days in November <strong>2016</strong>, the ARC303 seminar group<br />
undertook a research field trip to Hangzhou, where students explored<br />
several sites and buildings by Amateur Architecture Studio, established<br />
by Lu Wenyu and Wang Shu.<br />
The aim of this ARC303 Seminar A research project of was not only to<br />
gain a better understanding of Amateur Architecture Studio’s built and<br />
un-built projects, but to learn more about its two founding architects.<br />
Meeting with Lu Wenyu and interviewing Wang Shu, students were able<br />
to discover where and how they were educated, how they commenced<br />
their careers, whilst also learning more about issues that underpin their<br />
research and how this informs how their projects, and how they think<br />
and write about architecture. Students were then able to better reflect<br />
upon how their approach to contributes to architectural theory in light<br />
of discussions of it by critics and the broader profession.<br />
As founders of the China Academy of Arts in Hangzhou, how Lu Wenyu<br />
and Wang Shu’s theoretical and practical work informs their teaching at<br />
the architecture school was also a topic of interest.<br />
Works visited during the field trip included the Old Town Conservation<br />
of Zhongshan Street, the Vertical Courtyard Apartments; Xiangshan<br />
Campus Part I and II; the CAA Student Refectory, the Shui An Shan<br />
Ju Hotel, and a visit to a construction site with Deli Zhao, with a talk<br />
