2017 China Prize
Atmosphere / Material / Behavior / Thoughts

In his study about the architecture of other countries, Zhaoyang Luo became interested in the contemporary residential architecture of the Netherlands, where he found an abstract interpretation of the relationship of daily life and space that was similar to the complex geometries found in the architecture of “settlements” in southwest China. He was particularly interested to learn how local architects in the Netherlands deal with their surroundings with innovative methods, wishing to find a new approach to the settlements in the southwest of China.
