CURRENT WORK: WANG SHU
2012 Pritzker Prize Laureate

Wang Shu and his wife, Lu Wenyu, founded Amateur Architecture Studio in 1997 in Hangzhou, China. The name of the office refers to the approach of an amateur builder-one based on spontaneity, craft skills, and cultural traditions. In order to learn traditional skills, Wang Shu spent the early part of his career working on building sites. Rather than looking toward the West for inspiration, Wang's work is rooted firmly in the context of Chinese history and culture. Some of his most important built works include the Library of Wenzheng College, Suzhou University; Ningbo Contemporary Art Museum; the Xiangshan Campus of the China Academy of Art; and the Ningbo History Museum. Wang Shu is the 2012 Pritzker Prize laureate, the first Chinese citizen to receive that honor. He is Professor and Head of the Architecture School at China Academy of Art, Hangzhou. In 2011, he became the first Chinese Kenzo Tange Visiting Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Curious about applying for a Fulbright Grant?
Want to learn more about pursuing project-based work abroad?
Kerry Carnahan will talk about her experience as a Fulbright Fellow in Barcelona, Spain, where she studied at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc. At the Politècnica, she supported ongoing laboratory investigations into composite concrete.
Ms. Carnahan also participated in the initial phases of the reopening of a Spanish Civil War-era anti-aerial bomb shelter, built using traditional Catalan masonry techniques and located under the Plaça del Diamant. Ms. Carnahan will discuss how the Fulbright Grant afforded her an opportunity to engage with questions of history, mass culture and biopower as they relate to public spaces and to experiment with visual and literary interpretive framework. She will also describe how the Fulbright experience informed her decade of service within New York City government as an advocate for ecological and social concerns in the built environment. Ms. Carnahan will present pictures of her work and her time in Barcelona.
Peter Buckley, Associate Professor of the Faculty of the Humanities and Social Sciences and The Cooper Union's Fulbright Program Advisor, will join Ms. Carnahan to provide information and field questions about applying for a Fulbright Grant.
