Wang Shu 王澍
Pritzker Prize-Winning Architect
Wang Shu is head of the architecture department of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou and founder of Amateur Architecture Studio which he runs with his wife, Lu Wenyu. Wang won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2012 and became the first Chinese citizen to win this prize. It is often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. In 2010, Wang and Lu Wenyu won the German Schelling Architecture Prize together, and in 2011 he received the gold medal from the French Academy of Architecture. His architecture has been described as "opening new horizons while at the same time resonating with place and memory" by the Pritzker Prize jury.
Wang Shu’s signature work included the Ningbo Contemporary Art Museum, the Ningbo History Museum.

I cannot believe that the audience laughed and applauded as if they were so proud of the "Chiese efficiency" when Wangshu mentioned that "Chinese people have the 'creativity' to destroy all their culture and build new ‘miracles’ on the moon after the earth is turned into a barren land". Didn't any of them have the intelligence to realize it's an irony? What a shame!

我觉得台下的观众是在为王澍一语道破中国社会问题,并用幽默的讽刺揭示这个别人都不敢说的现象而鼓掌.而不是说为这个事实欢呼雀跃. I think that the audience clapped for him because he revealed a cruel fact and a miserable situation in China in an ironic way, which other people haven't realized or are too afraid to say in public.
