This structure, designed by the Amateur Architecture Studio, won the duo Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu the title of Honorary Fellows of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
This award, given to them in February of 2015, gave much of the credit to Lu Wenyu’s husband rather than herself. Wang Shu has been quoted giving credit to Lu Wenyu stating that her insight and design helps to allow the structure to thrive in it’s intended urban environment.
