Revival of creativity

Acclaimed architect Wang Shu completes a decade at the helm of an experimental school. Wang Kaihao reports from Hangzhou.

Over the past decade, Wang Shu has been nurturing Chinese architects, on an idyllic land on the outskirts of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province.

Wang, 54, designed the China Academy of Art's Xiangshan campus in 2007, in the fashion of jiangnan, a term used to describe the scenery along the southern banks of the Yangtze River.
