Library of Wenzheng College, Soochow University, China (2000)-Lu Wenyu- Miles Waller Blog 2

This library is one of Lu Wenyu’s early projects designed at her and her husbands studio Amateur Architecture Studio. They designed the building with the landscape in mind reminding people that they are in between both the mountains and a lake. Most of the building is underground because buildings by lakes and water are not supposed to challenge them. The building in the water is the poetry and philosophy reading room. It is supposed to be the place were you are one and balanced with nature. The style again shows how they are trying to push into the future without leaving Chinese culture behind.
