Architects (and spouses) Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu founded their architecture firm Amateur Architecture Studio in 1997 with the aim of emphasizing a less rigid, more experimental approach to the form. Wang has said that his work exists in contrast to the “professionalized, soulless architecture” of today. The CMU School of Architecture will host Architectural Education Experiment Pointing to the Real Social Reality a lecture by Wang and Lu at the Carnegie Museum of Art, where they’ll discuss how their firm “utilizes knowledge of everyday techniques to adapt and transform materials for contemporary projects.”
