Dear Sophie -
The 2012 Pritzker Prize winner is WANG SHU, the first Chinese citizen to win the coveted award.
With elegance he recycles the past to invent the new.
“Everywhere you can see, they don’t care about the materials,” Mr. Wang said in an interview. “They just want new buildings, they just want new things. I think the material is not just about materials. Inside it has the people’s experience, memory — many things inside. So I think it’s for an architect to do something about it.”
With love,
Mom
