Prof. Wang Shu

Prof. Wang Shu, a world-class architect, is the dean and professor of the School of Architecture of the China Academy of Art. In 2012, he became the first Chinese citizen to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. Professor Wang's architecture is exemplary in its strong sense of cultural continuity and re-invigorated tradition. His buildings have a very rare attribute—a commanding and even, at times, monumental presence, while functioning splendidly. The History Museum at Ningbo is one of his masterpieces. Highly regarded in his field, Professor Wang was awarded the First Architecture Arts Award in China and the gold medal of the Academy of Architecture in France. He was elected as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time magazine in 2013. The University conferred upon Professor Wang the degree of Doctor of Social Science, honoris causa, for his exceptional achievements and contributions to the field of architecture.
