`2016 China Prize`
Untold Stories: Architectural and Urban Development from the Soviet Union to the Russian Federation

This award enabled the realization of Su Tianyu’s long-held wish to travel to Russia to learn about its architecture, which he believes has deeply influenced and shaped modern Chinese architecture. For twenty-one days he traveled to Moscow, Sochi, and Saint Petersburg where he was able to observe the extraordinary scale of the Soviet buildings. Tianyu hopes that learning about the development of the post-1960 architecture in Russia will help him to envision the future of modern Chinese architecture.
